 During the week of August 27, hundreds of thousands of Americans will gather in Washington, D.C. to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s speech, "I Have a Dream." People throughout the nation will reflect on the march on Washington in August 1963, applauding the bravery and fortitude of those who fought together and seriously wounded Jim Crow. We will gather here in Fresno to also celebrate The Dream: MLK's 50th Anniversary.

"I Have a Dream" is a public speech delivered by Rev. King on August 28, 1963, in which he called for an end to racism in the United States. Delivered to over 250,000 civil rights supporters from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. The speech was a defining moment of the American Civil Rights Movement.
