On the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., the
African American civil rights movement reached its high-water
mark when
Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his "I Have a Dream"
speech to about 250,000 people attending the
March on
Washington
for Jobs and Freedom on August 28, 1963.      

The demonstrators—Black and white, poor and rich—came
together in the nation’s capital to demand voting rights and        
equal opportunity for African Americans and to appeal for 
an end to racial segregation and discrimination.

more famous than any of his films — and yet he would only live
to see one of those films released. The adaptation of Steinbeck’s
epic novel “East of Eden” (1955).

James Dean’s brief yet iconic time in the spotlight came to an
abrupt end when he died in a tragic car accident . The details
