March on Washington, 1963

In 1963, over 200,000 people of different races and faiths gathered in support of Martin Luther King Jr.'s approach to equal rights. King delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech, proclaiming his commitment to a world "that will judge by the content of [one's] character, not the color of their skin." He also declared, "Every nation must now develop an overriding loyalty to mankind as a whole in order to preserve the best in their individual societies."
