Commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the March on Washington

Each day, Patch provides the nuts and bolts of local happenings with our five-bullet local dispatch.

1) "So even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow I still have a dream," so famously said Martin Luther King, Jr.  Unbelievably, today marks the 50th Anniversary of the March on Washington, marking a pivotal point during the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s. There are several ways you can mark the day today and Thursday nearby in Ossining with words, music and a film screening. Click here for information on several special events.

2) Aspiring poets: the Warner Library invites you to register now for a six-week "writing from your life" poetry workshop in October and November with poet Pamela Manche Pearce. More info here.

3) Wednesday's weather brings partly-cloudy skies and a 20-percent chance of rain, with temperatures hovering in the mid-eighties.
