March on Washington's 60th Anniversary: A Day of Reflection, Inspiration, and Renewed Commitment
Tens of thousands of people are expected to gather at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., to commemorate the 60th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have A Dream" speech. The event, organized by the Drum Major Institute and the National Action Network, aims to recapture the energy of the original March on Washington and address eroded voting rights, threats of political violence, and growing hatred against marginalized communities. The commemoration includes speeches, performances, and a march procession towards the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial. President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris will meet with organizers of the 1963 gathering on Monday. Reverend Al Sharpton plans to lead a voting rights tour and create a fund to finance the fight against conservative attacks on diversity and inclusion initiatives.
