A DREAM CONTINUES
Americans continue to grieve MLK and pray that his peaceful spirit of kinship and belonging will live on in this world and to the next.
60 years ago in our nation's capital, Martin Luther King Jr. led an estimated 250,000 people in the original March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, in which he also made his famed “I Have a Dream” speech. It marked a turning point in the Civil Rights Movement, with King’s speech paving the way for groundbreaking legislation, such as the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the 1965 Voting Rights Act.
