In August on 1963 over two hundred thousand people gathered in Washington DC to participate in a rally know as the “March on Washington. The rally was designed to fight for the rights and civil freedoms for blacks. Martin Luther King Jr gave his “I Have a Dream Speech”. The rally and march actually was an unprecedented success.
After watching the film on this class, I think my opinion definitely changed. I thought that the speech was just given and it had little impact. After watching the video and seeing how many people were in attendance, I soon came to realize that this was probably the biggest even of the Positive effects for african americans in the Civil Rights Movement.
