In the 1950s and 1960s, black Americans could not vote, work, learn, or live as they pleased. On August 28, 1963, hundreds of thousands of people took part in the March on Washington-the largest peaceful demonstration the world had ever seen. Its effect was so profound that the Civil Rights Act was passed one year later, making discrimination illegal in the United States. Book jacket.
