Martin Luther King, Jr. Marade in Denver

Thousands of people marched through Denver's streets to honor Martin Luther King Jr., one day before what they see as one realization of the slain civil rights leader's dream -- the inauguration of America's first black president.

About 20,000 people gathered at the end of Monday's 3-mile "marade" -- march and parade -- at Civic Center Park. It was the same park where Barack Obama, nearing the eve of his election, drew a crowd estimated at well over 100,000 people.

Some text about the visioning that was held.

Stop the wars, healthcare for everyone including me. I need to go to the doctor. Nuclear free world (biggest dream).

My dream is that the artist begin to lead the way. The dancers, musicians, painters, sculptors, singers, spoken worders, writers, visual artists - all of the muses of the Greatest Creator. God=Creator=Artist: set the tone and the Global change!! We are funded! We are paid. Our dream realized to not only live as artist - but have the lives we deserve! "You will pay a doctor to "fix" your body, pay me to touch and heal your soul."

Letting and enabling us federal workers do the work that inspires us, rather than assigning us busy work to meet number/goals.
