On this date August 28, 1963 was the day that transformed America. On this day thousands from around the nation gathered for peace and equality. People of all races stood together as a united front to support sweeping civil rights measures. It was called the March on Washington. It also marked the occasion of Martin Luther King Jr.’s most famous speech “I Have a Dream”. There had never been anything like it before, nor, anything like it since. It was an extraordinary day that left an even more extraordinary legacy.
