The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom took place on August 28, 1963, in Washington D.C. It was a seminal moment in the Civil Rights Movement and is one of the most famous moments in Black history. Organized by a coalition of civil rights, labor, and religious organizations, the march drew an estimated 250,000 people to the National Mall to demand civil and economic rights for African Americans.

The highlight of the march was Martin Luther King Jr.'s iconic "I Have a Dream" speech, delivered from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. King's powerful words called for an end to racism and segregation, and for equality and justice for all people. The march and King's speech helped to galvanize public support for the civil rights movement and led to the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

The March on Washington remains a symbol of the power of peaceful protest and collective action in the fight for equality and justice. It is remembered as a turning point in the struggle for civil rights in the United States.
