Live updates: March on Washington anniversary

Photos, videos, and dispatches from the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington


On August 28, 1963, more than 200,000 people came to the District to ask for "jobs and justice" for black Americans. The March on Washington ultimately became the largest civil rights gathering of its time, culminating with Martin Luther King, Jr's famous 'I Have a Dream' speech delivered on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.

Below, we are collecting photographs, videos, and stories from today's anniversary celebration in Washington, DC.
