The goal of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, held on August 28, 1963, was to advocate for civil and economic rights for African Americans. The march aimed to end segregation and discrimination in the United States, as well as secure access to education, employment, and voting rights for African Americans. The event also aimed to raise awareness of the inequalities faced by African Americans and to put pressure on the government to pass civil rights legislation. The highlight of the march was Martin Luther King Jr.'s iconic "I Have a Dream" speech, in which he articulated his vision of a future where all people would be judged by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin.
