lalahshakur: On 27 August 1963 thousands of US-Americans headed to Washington - it was the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. On 28 August 1963, Martin Luther King delivered his speech “I Have a Dream”. James Baldwin was “prevented from speaking at the march on the grounds that his comments would be too inflammatory”. The march was supported by celebrities such as, for instance, Marlon Brando, Charlton Heston, Harry Belafonte, Burt Lancaster, Josephine Baker, Joan Baez, James Garner, and Paul Newman. -- source link
