SPREAD THE WORD….COMMITMENT TO NONVIOLENCE CAMPAIGN BEGINS NOW

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!

On August 28, 1963, at approximately 3:00 pm, Doctor Martin Luther King Jr. began delivering his now famous “I Have a Dream” speech. August 28, 2013 marks the 50th anniversary of the great March on Washington. But 50 years later many aspects of Doctor King’s dream alludes us. Violence, for example, in many cities is worse now than it was fifty years ago. However, you can do something about it. Begin, on August 28, 2013 at 3:00 pm, by making a pledge to not engage in any violent conduct for 63 minutes. You don’t have to be in Washington D.C., commemorating the 50th anniversary, to make this commitment. In fact, we need you in your community making and encouraging others to be non violent and avoid violent confrontations for just 63 minutes starting at 3:00 pm on August 28, 2013. That’s how we can make Doctor King’s dream come true… one minute at a time. That’s right just 63 minutes can change your community, your city, your nation, and maybe even your own life or the life of someone you love.
