Reflecting on Sixty Years Since King's 'Dream' Speech: Commemorating the March on Washington

Thousands of Americans gathered at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the March on Washington and Martin Luther King Jr's historic "I Have a Dream" speech. Speakers at the event highlighted the ongoing fight for racial justice and equality, expressing concerns about new laws that threaten voting rights and target the LGBTQ community. They also criticized efforts to ban critical race theory and remove African American Studies courses from public schools, calling it an attempt to silence conversations about the country's history of racism. President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris will meet with march organizers at the White House to mark the anniversary.
