Martin Luther King leads a march of 250,000 supporters of Civil Rights in Washington D.C. Speaking from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, King tells the racially mixed crowd "I Have A Dream." Some estimate the crowd at 400,000. This is the culmination of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom and speakers other than King include Georgian John Lewis, then chairman of the SNCC (Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee).
