Reseña del editor:

On August 28, 1963, something quite amazing occurred. On that day, one of the largest political rallies ever took place in support of civil and economic rights of African-Americans, and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., standing in front of the Lincoln Memorial, gave one of the most stirring speeches in history when he delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech. This book is a celebration of the 50th anniversary of this address and includes narrative and more than 100 stunning photos from the march in Birmingham, Alabama, through the March on Washington. The photographs come from Bob Adelman, one of the most notable photographers of this movement. His work has been featured in Time, Newsweek, and the Associated Press. It is authored by the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), an organization in which Dr. King served as the first president.

Contraportada:

On August 28, a Wednesday in 1963, something quite amazing occurred.

America’s most prominent Civil Rights organizations united into joint leadership, with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) prominent among them, to lead one of the largest political rallies ever to march on Washington, D.C.

Some say it was Mahalia Jackson who called out from the crowd to King: “Tell them about the dream.” He did.

And, Lord, did America listen.

This photo journal is a testimony to an event that changed America.
