28 agos 1963 anni - The March on Washington

Descrizione:

The March on Washington was organized by many civil rights activists and was a mile long March from the Washington Monument to the Lincoln Memorial in remembrance and respect for Lincoln, the president who signed the Emancipation Proclamation. The goals were desegregation of public places and schools, redress of violations of constitutional rights, and a federal works problem to train employees. The “I have a dream” speech given by Martin Luther King at the March on Washington is one of the most well known speeches in history. It outlined the struggles that African Americans faced in their daily lives and was a central event in the civil rights movement.
