Weston Media Center is proud to present 
“We Were There: Henry and Melinda Brown Remember the 1963 March on Washington” 
available for viewing here,  where it may also be downloaded at no cost for educational use.
 
Weston Residents Henry and Melinda Brown  participated in the 1963 March on Washington. 
They vividly recall the day with intimate details of the event including their parents’ fears, their co-workers reactions and how they believe the March changed the course of history in America. Their perspective on this extraordinary  experience is rarely seen in conventional media and Weston Media Center is pleased to present  the Browns’ story to Weston and the world. Weston resident Isabella Jancourtz produced the video and  interviewed the Browns. Weston Media Center Inc. provided videography, technical support and editing.
