The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, held on August 28, 1963, is often credited with significantly impacting the civil rights movement by raising awareness of the struggle for racial equality and helping to galvanize public opinion in favor of civil rights legislation. The event is particularly remembered for Martin Luther King Jr.'s iconic "I Have a Dream" speech, which articulated the aspirations of the movement and helped to increase pressure on political leaders to pass important federal laws, such as the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
