50th anniversary of The March on Washington Street

1. The purpose of the march on Washington was to have a nonviolent protest about segregate and also to have equality. Political and social injustice. Desegregating schools, jobs, and to pass the civil rights bill, also housing.

2. The purpose was to abolish segregation so that not only his children but all colored children can go to school with white children and be able to go into any place a white person can go. I think it also said people should be treated equally.

3. The march on Washington was 2 of the most talked about in the civil rights era because it was the biggest march and also because it made a hug impact in history; colored and white people having all the same rights. People united and came together to make a difference. It was nonviolent.

4. Not only were there colored people in the movement but there was also some white people who believed that we all have equal rights and they saw that treating colored different than the white people wasn't humane. They wanted to fight for what was right. They wanted to see something change.

5. One thing I would tell people is to go out and mix with different cultures. Because that's what we tend to do; Latinos hang out with Latinos, white people hang out with other white people, etc. I guess to stop segregating in cliques.we need people to lead. Also about immigration and gay rights, the gun control. S throng speech and also hope. Something that's affecting us.

6. There recently was a huge march before the court about letting homosexuals marry in California. That march was huge because the Golden Gate Bridge had to be closed for a while. And they ended up winning the trial. The dream act gave kids a social security number so that they were able to go to college. It also them an opportunity to get a job. They're motivated about something they're passionate about. 

Video notes :

They thought that being violentnshowed everyone else their weakness. So instead they peacefully marched to show that they are stronger than using violence against other people. People were being hosed to the wall with high pressured firehoses and dogs biting innocent people. 

On 130th street and Harlem in Washington.whitenpeople were working with colored people to set up the march and have transportation for everyone to get to Washington. They made sure all the signs were right. People kept coming in to the Lincoln memorial. Everyone was curious about what Martin Luther king jr was going to say. He stopped reading his script and started saying his dream. The image he gave was freedom.
