Here’s an unfortunate footnote to today’s 50th-anniversary commemoration of the March on Washington:  A charter bus carrying several of Martin Luther King Jr.’s siblings and grandchildren collided with a car this evening near the National Mall. The bus driver and a person in the car were reportedly taken to the hospital. “We were very afraid,” said reality star Omarosa Manigault, who was with the King family. “There were children on the bus, seniors and everything. Everybody was thrown out of their seats.”
