Engaged Nation
On August 24, 2013 thousands will gather to commemorate the 50th Anniversary March on Washington. To help continue the fight for civil liberties, civil rights, voting rights, and economic freedom and opportunity for all.
"Fifty years ago, the tone of the march was jobs and freedom," said King. "In a real sense, 50 years later, it's still jobs, freedom but (also) justice."~ Martin Luther King III , USA Today
