The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom took place on August 28, 1963. Organized by civil rights leaders, including A. Philip Randolph and Bayard Rustin, the march aimed to advocate for civil and economic rights for African Americans. It is most well-known for Martin Luther King Jr.'s iconic "I Have a Dream" speech, which he delivered in front of the Lincoln Memorial to a crowd of over 250,000 people.

The march was a pivotal moment in the civil rights movement, bringing national attention to issues such as segregation, voting rights, and economic inequality. It put pressure on the government to pass Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965.

The March on Washington demonstrated the power of nonviolent protest and paved the way for future social justice movements. It remains a significant event in Black history and American history as a whole.
