March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom

News
August 22, 2013
Fifty years ago, more than 200,000 people gathered in the nation?s capital to demand civil liberty and economic opportunity for all. The march was the largest demonstration for jobs and freedom in the country?s history, and it was there that Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his celebrated ?I Have a Dream? speech. This Saturday, civil rights, labor and social justice organizations will be rallying once again on the National Mall to honor the historic demonstration.
