The Library of the Civil Rights Movement
The 1963 march on Washington had many goals and brought together many different people and ideas. The end of segregation in schools and housing and an increase in minimum wage were among the most important topics. More than 250,000 people gathered to listen to speeches and music and to share ideas. Kids will be amazed by the number of people involved, what was accomplished, and why the march on Washington was such a landmark event.
