All this week, WXXI News presents a five part series called "50 years later, Rochester Remembers the Dream," to coincide with the anniversary of the historic Civil Rights March on Washington. In part one of our series, WXXI'S Beth Adams talks with two Rochesterians who were among the white Americans joining the march in 1963.
On August 28, 1963, Martin Luther King, Jr., delivered one of the most iconic speeches in history from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. WXXI News reflects on the memorable speech, and the impact it had years later with people who were in Washington on that historic day.
