King Had His Dream; We Must Have a Plan
People think of the 1963 March on Washington as Dr. Martin Luther King’s “I Have A Dream” march, but what was important that day wasn’t any particular speech but the fact that for the first time so many people, from such a broad range of our society, stood together and demanded that America live up to its promise.
When I saw that the crowd on the Mall was so huge, I began to believe that dedication to equality was common among Americans. The March gave me new faith in America, and motivation to return to my organizing.
