The setting back then was Lafayette Square, the prime parkland just north of the White House. After grabbing a quick bite to eat, the four of us took a walk around the city and were surprised to find a large crowd that had gathered in Lafayette Square to protest the Vietnam War. After resting overnight, the four Marshall University amigos got in a car and left Washington, still excited about observing so much energy and passion just hours earlier in Lafayette Square. It goes like this: several friends will journey with me to Lafayette Square, joining a group of protesters. Right now, I’m dreaming about a better future, one that will start with a walk in a certain park.
