March on DC

On August 28, 1963, a quarter of a million people marched to the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. to protest racial inequality.

Mahalia Jackson, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez and others led the crowd in song before speeches by John Lewis, Martin Luther King, Jr. and other civil rights leaders.
