"I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up, live out the true meaning of its creed: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.'"
Answer Martin Luther King, Jr.
A proponent of nonviolent protest, Martin Luther King, Jr., led the March on Washington in 1963, where he gave his most famous speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. A 250,000-large crowd was lucky enough to hear about King's "dream" in person. The Civil Rights Act was passed a year later in 1964.
