The March on Washington took place on August 28, 1963. The protest was the largest held in Washington, D.C. at the time.

260,000 people across the nation joined together in outrage over the nation’s racial inequities.

Participants prioritized their efforts on combating racial discrimination & gaining support for the Civil Rights Act.

Among the many speakers of the day, MLK delivered his iconic "I Have a Dream" Speech.

The youngest speaker, a student named John Lewis, would go on to become a U.S. Representative for the state of Georgia.

The continued lobbying of Congress & other peaceful protests brought Pres. Johnson to sign the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

The Civil Rights Act passage guaranteed equal voting rights and outlawed discrimination in public places.

This is a moment to acknowledge America's struggle, as well as continue the #MarchOn towards a more just world for all.
