March on Washington
Martin Luther King Jr. led thousands of Americans to the nation’s capital for the March on Washington for one of the largest and most successful nonviolent protests in history. Championing civil rights, the March on Washington culminated in King’s “I Have A Dream” speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in front of more than 250,000 protesters. The march was just one of many nonviolent protests that King led, but this was one of the most visible demonstrations and a true turning point in the civil rights movement.
