from various cities including NOLA. http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/1208812
By the time that I found out about it, all buses were sold out.

My sister is checking with Churches in her area (Dallas/Fort Worth). She also has a friend checking if anything is available in NOLA.

If I/we can't find a bus, we are considering driving.

If any of you are going, possibly we can meet for Lunch or something.

I met Rosa Parks in the late '80s at a church I attended in Los Angeles on the MLK holiday weekend. Another member of that church was a woman who had done the lunch counter protests with Jesse Jackson in Greensboro, NC, in 1960. She was a very interesting person. We has a long discussion about it.
