I wondering how people might feel about this ?? Is this a positive development, negative, not sure or what?

Complicated development. Taking an analogy, if the Japanese-Americans had wanted to stage a march on Washington on December 7, 1946 what would you have thought? Many Japanese-Americans were put into camps during WWII and treated abominably because of their race and connection with where their ancestors and sometimes where they and/or their parents came from. There were highly decorated Japanese-American troops fighting in WWII especially in the Italian campaign. Having the date though of December 7, 1953 would have enraged many still with very strong emotions connected with the Pearl Harbor attack. Having it on December 7, 2013 would seem kind of pointless given our current relationship with Japan and how successful many of Japanese ancestry now are in the United States.

It does seem insensitive to put the March on September 11, 2013 as it has only been 12 years since that horrible attack. I have run into some Southerners who still seem a little upset at Sherman's March to the Sea.
