On August 28, 1963, the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom
- a demonstration held by civil rights leaders and attended by
approximately 250,000 people – took place. It was during this
protest, one of the largest in U.S. history, that Martin Luther
King made his now famous speech at the foot of the Lincoln
Memorial where he uttered the words, “I have a dream.”


 


In this segment from BackStory’s 2013 episode “Fierce Urgency of
Now: The 1963 March on Washington,” Ed talks with historian David
Blight about the continuing impact of the Civil War in shaping
the context within which the march took place, and the particular
importance of the Emancipation Proclamation in King’s speech,
which had been issued 100 years before the march.
