That was actually a really interesting article. I have heard from some attendees of the march that they were disappointed by the tone of the event, that the attendees did not seem to have a sense of the seriousness of the purpose.
Of course, I have also heard memories of events like the March on Washington (and other events that we memorialize as somber), that remember them as festive as well.
Another critique that I have heard since the march is that there did not seem to be a goal in mind. The goal was to "get to Jena," without any vision of what should happen next or how to build on the momentum of this event to achieve some more substantive change. I asked in the Delta forum, a few days after the march, what's next; I think this article poses the same questions.
