50 years ago, more than 250,000 people went to Washington, D.C., for a demonstration. It was called the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. At that time, many black Americans couldn’t get good jobs or go to good schools like white people. Many were poor. Martin Luther King, Jr., made a speech in front of the Lincoln Memorial and talked about his dream of black and white people living together in freedom. Some of his dream has come true. Many black people are getting a better education and have better jobs, but a lot of black Americans are still poor. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
