#eyesontheprize: Aug. 28, 1963, a crowd of a quarter-million people came together on the National Mall with a shared purpose of striving for #socialjustice, the end of #segregation, #fairwages, economic #opportunities and the rights of full #citizenship. Many historians credit the march for pressuring the #Kennedy administration to act on #civilrights, eventually leading to the passage of the #CivilRightsAct in 1964 and the #VotingRightsAct of 1965. The momentous day concluded with #King delivering his iconic “#IHaveaDream” speech at the Lincoln Memorial.
