Fifty years ago on August 28, 1963, an estimated 250,000 people marched to the
Lincoln Memorial in Washington, where they heard Martin Luther King Jr.’s famous
"I Have a Dream" speech. The speech gave an impassioned voice to the demands
of the U.S. civil rights movement: equal rights and justice for all citizens.
