In advance, hope this helps!

The March of Washington was held on August 28, 1963, led by Martin Luther King Jr. The purpose was because of discrimination and segregation going on in that time period, and Dr. King was a huge role model in that darkness.

This program listed the events scheduled at the Lincoln Memorial during the August 28, 1963, March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. The highlight of the march, which attracted 250,000 people, was Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech.

The march was successful in pressuring the administration of John F. Kennedy to initiate a strong federal civil rights bill in Congress.
