[close] The March on Washington, one of the most significant public events of the 20th century, is remembered in an amazing new paperback that details this defining moment of the civil rights movement. On August 28, 1963, people from all walks of life and socioeconomic backgrounds, races, and religions came together to support a national civil rights initiative. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s stirring delivery of his historic "I have a dream" speech signaled a turning point in United States history for a generation, a nation, and the world. Now, acclaimed journalist and author Patrik Henry Bass weaves eyewitness accounts, photographs, reporting, and observation into a stirring mosaic of one of the most memorable events in our recent past.
