On August 28, 1963, sixty years ago, thousands of people gathered at the Lincoln Memorial for the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in the nation's capital. From its steps, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his “I Have a Dream" speech. Noted for its power and resonance, it became one of the defining moments of the civil rights movement and one of the most iconic speeches in American history. Today, the location where King delivered the speech is commemorated with an inscription on the steps. Image 1: King giving his "I Have a Dream" speech during the March on Washington.
