D.C.-Area Residents Embrace March on Washington 60th Anniversary
Turner’s sorority member, Sheila Bunn, the chief of staff to D.C. Council member Vincent C. Gray (D-Ward 7) and a political leader in Ward 8, attended the march wearing a crimson and crème blouse and pants. She waited patiently at the foot of the lower steps of the Lincoln Memorial to take a picture with many of her fellow members.
Like Turner, Bunn cited the 1913 women’s vote march as an indication of Delta’s history of activism as one of the main reasons why she attended the event.
“We are doing it again,” Bunn said. “Delta is strong for fighting for civil, human and women’s rights and we will keep on marching.”
