comments,
- Pastor, activist, peacemaker, and crusader against injustice and inequality.""January 15, 1929 - April 4, 1968
- Originally, the unveiling of this monument was planned on the 48th anniversary of a landmark speech.""But then Irene stormed in and delayed the event
- The peaceful “March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom” took place near here, 100 years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed.""It earned a simpler title after drawing a sea of 250,000 participants
- This man\s landmark speech, delivered on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, still rings loud and pure.""Listen to it now
