Forty years ago, thousands of Americans made their way to
Washington D.C. for a civil rights demonstration like no other before it: The
March for Jobs and Freedom. Many recall the March as the event where Dr.
Martin Luther King proclaimed “I Have A Dream.” But it was
much more. March leaders demanded not only an end to segregation but to employment
discrimination and access to business opportunities.
