On 29 April, 1968 Stokely Carmichael and Mariam Makeba went to the DC Court of General Sessions to pick up their marriage license, which cost two dollars. Carmichael wore a blue Nehru suit and Makeba wore a yellow and brown dress. They were married by Rev. Douglas E. Moore at his Calloway United Methodist Church, in Arlington, the same day. 500 guests helped them celebrate at the reception that included a long night of dancing and music.
