On August 28th, 1963, Martin Luther King Jr. gave his “I Have a Dream” speech in the capital of the United States, Washington DC. His speech was one of the most historical speeches of all time. An astonishing turn out of 250,000 Americans marched along with Martin Luther King to support the Civil Rights Movement. He gave his speech at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. He gave his speech there because President Lincoln had fought for the rights of slaves (during the civil war). His speech that he gave in Washington helped move along the Civil Rights movement, getting African Americans closer to equality.
