"Thrust into the national spotlight in Birmingham, where he was
arrested and jailed, King helped organize a massive march on Washington, DC, on
August 28, 1963. His partners in the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom
included other religious leaders, labor leaders, and black organizers. The
assembled masses marched down the Washington Mall from the Washington Monument
to the Lincoln Memorial, heard songs from Bob Dylan and Joan Baez, and heard
speeches by actor Charlton Heston, NAACP president Roy Wilkins, and future U.S.
Representative from Georgia John Lewis."
