On August 28th, 1963, civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his iconic "I Have a Dream" speech during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in Washington, D.C. King delivered the speech to over 250,000 civil rights supporters from the steps of Lincoln Memorial, and called for civil and economic rights and an end to racism in the United States. The speech became the most iconic moment of the civil rights movement in the 1960s, as well as one of the most iconic speeches in American history.
