aug 28, 1963 - March on Washington

Description:

The March on Washington was one of the most important moments of the Civil Rights movement. On that day, thousands of Americans marched on the capitol, and Martin Luther King, Jr. gave his famous "I Have A Dream" speech. This event encouraged Congress to pass the Civil Rights Bill of 1964, which had a great effect on ending segregation. The March on Washington is similar to other protests like those by the feminist movement or the anti-war movement, which drew inspiration from the civil rights movement.
