The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom took place on August 28, 1963. It was a massive civil rights demonstration in Washington D.C., where over 250,000 people gathered to advocate for economic opportunities and an end to segregation. The highlight of the event was Martin Luther King Jr.'s iconic "I Have a Dream" speech, which called for racial equality and justice. The march was a significant moment in the Civil Rights Movement, leading to the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. (History.com)
