Synopsis

On 28 August 1963, at the huge March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, Martin Luther King, Jr lifted the crowd when he told of his dream that all Americans would join together to realise the founding ideal of equality. King's speech is still inspiring fifty years later but its very power has narrowed our understanding of the march. In this insightful history, William P. Jones restores the march to its full significance.
