Members of the Carroll County chapter of the NAACP joined tens of thousands Saturday at the National
Mall - at the Reflecting Pool and the Lincoln Memorial - in Washington to
celebrate the 50th anniversary of the August 28, 1963 March on Washington.
It was at that time in the early 1960s that the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. (January 15,
1929-April 4, 1968) made "I have a dream" the clarion-call of the
civil rights movement at a political rally called the “March on Washington for
Jobs and Freedom.”
History continues to reflect upon the importance of the
march on Washington in 1963. One thing remains certain, it was a pivotal moment
in American history that has contributed greatly to who we are as a nation
today.
