3. On August 28, 1963, Washington was host to over 200,000 participants of all colors in the historic March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom

Mahalia Jackson, Marian Anderson, Bob Dylan and Joan Baez were some of the musicians who gave performances as part of the day's events. The highlight of the day was Rev. Martin Luther King's now-famous "I Have a Dream" speech in front of the hundreds of thousands of people assembled at the Lincoln Memorial.
