What was the official count of participants in March On Washington DC on Sept 12 2009?
There is no "official" count of crowds anymore. Too many lawsuites by different sides claiming more or fewer than the National Park Service would announce.
For this march a wide range of crowd estimates was suggested for the event, with most media sourcing the Public Information Officer of the D.C. Fire Department who unofficially estimated the attendance "in excess of 75,000" people.[1][18][17][19] The D.C. Fire Department later released a statement that the crowd estimation attributed to them was false, stating that an early estimation of 60,000 was for a specific area, Freedom Plaza, not the total number of participants in the event. Event organizer FreedomWorks suggested between 600,000 to 800,000 participants while National Taxpayers Union said 200,000 to 300,000
