Which of these facts are true? A quarter million people marched for equal rights. More than two thousand buses, twenty-one chartered trains, ten airplanes, and a countless number of cars brought people to Washington, DC. Martin Luther King Jr. gave his “I Have a Dream” speech. On August 28, 1963, more than 200,000 people gathered in Washington, DC, to demand equal rights for all races. It was there that Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech, and it was this peaceful protest that spurred the momentous civil rights laws of the mid-1960s. With black-and-white artwork throughout and sixteen pages of photographs, the March is brought to life!
