Every American child at one point learns about the famous March on Washington. Held on August 28th, 1963, close to 250,000 individuals came together at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. to demand equal opportunity for Black Americans and the passage of the Civil Rights Act (which was then stalled in Congress). Over 3,000 members of the press covered the event, where multiple activists and speakers, such as NAACP president Roy Wilkins and civil rights veteran Daisy Bates, congregated and, of course, Dr. Martin Luther King held his “I Have a Dream” speech.
