August 28


The march for jobs and freedom -- the Martin Luther King, Jr. "I Have A Dream" speech march -- is held in Washington, D.C. with 250,000 participating - 1963 (Martin Luther King, Jr., and the March on Washington is an excellent children’s introduction to Martin Luther King, Jr., and the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, using the March as a point of reference as it talks about segregation in America and the battle for equal rights. Photos and illustrations help make real not just that dramatic day, at which Dr. King gave his “I Have a Dream” speech, but also the harsh societal realities that led up to that dramatic moment in history. In the UCS bookstore now.)

And this: August 28, 1963 - Martin Luther King, Jr., made his famous "I have a dream . . ." speech at the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. Organizers of the march included Bayard Rustin of the AFL-CIO and United Auto Workers President Walter Reuther.
