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.

In Washington, D.C. nearly 100,000 people gather to protest the American war
effort in Vietnam. More than 50,000 of the protesters marched to the
Pentagon
to ask for an end to the conflict. The protest was the most dramatic sign of
waning U.S. support for President Lyndon Johnson’s war in Vietnam. Polls
taken in the summer of 1967 revealed that, for the first time, American
support for the war had fallen below 50 percent.
