50th Anniversary of the March on Washington

On August 27th hundreds of citizens attended the 2013 Conference on Civil Rights: Marching Forward By Looking Back. The following morning, on August 28, 2013, thousands of citizens, from across this country, converged upon our nation’s capital to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the 1963 March on Washington.

This site provides opportunities for people to share remembrances of and pictures from both marches. Additionally, visitors to this site can get updates on a variety of ongoing civil rights initiatives intended to make Dr. King’s dream a reality.

Thank you for your support!

DETROIT NAACP AND UAW COMMEMORATING FREEDOM MARCH ON SAT. JUNE 22, 2013 IN DETROIT MICHIGAN

Many people don’t realize this but, in 1963, two months before Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his famous “I Have A Dream Speech” in Washington, D.C., he delivered a similar speech before a crowd of thousands in Detroit Michigan. In commemoration of the 50th anniversary of that June 22, 1963 speech and march, the Detroit Branch of the NAACP and the UAW are organizing a Freedom March on June 22, 2013 in Detroit Michigan.

People interested in that march and wanting further details should contact the Detroit Branch of the NAACP at (313) 871-2087 or go to www.DetroitNAACP.org.
