60th Anniversary March on Washington

On Saturday, August 26, the iconic Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC, will be the backdrop of this transformative event. The pre-program will commence at 8:00 a.m. ET, leading up to the main program starting at 11:00 a.m. ET. We will embark on a powerful march through our Nation's Capital streets following the program.

This year, we're honored to have the presence of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s son, who plans to stand on the same marble steps of the Lincoln Memorial and share his father's vision for a more just and equitable America. He reminds us that much work still needs to be done. Together, we can turn Dr. King's vision into reality.

As our nation grapples with historic levels of violent hate crimes and threats to our democracy, we must continue the decades-old fight for democracy, social justice, and civil rights. Remember — It's Not A Commemoration. It's A Continuation! We March On!
