The March on Washington -- August 28, 1963
This is the full version of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s famed “I Have A Dream” speech, delivered 44 years ago in Washington, DC during the March on Washington, a non-violent protest widely credited as a major influence in the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the National Voting Rights Act of 1965.
The march occurred 8 years to the day after a Chicago teenager named Emmett Till was tortured and brutally murdered in Money, Mississippi, and 42 years (minus a day) before Hurricane Katrina ripped through the Gulf Coast and, among other things, laid bare the racial and social inequalities that MLK had dreamed to erase so many years before.

After all that MLK fought for, we now have walking black stereotypes/embarrasments like 50cent, Flavor Flav, Polow da Fool, etc.
