  • On this day in 1963, some 200,000 people marched on Washington, D.C., an event that became a high point of the civil rights movement, especially remembered for the famous “I Have a Dream” speech of Martin Luther King, Jr.


You are always a student, never a master. You have to keep moving forward. – Conrad Hall
