...scene at the Reflecting Pool was something akin to a Be-In on the banks of the Charles save that the preparations were more elaborate. Some 50 Negro D.C. policemen were grouped on the far-side of the gathering demonstrators getting a pep-talk from a white police sergeant; a Red Cross station was set up by the Army as a constant reminder that the authorities expected trouble.
