August 28, 1963, with the Washington Monument in the background, supporters present for the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom listen to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as he gives his chillingly inspiring "I Have A Dream" speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. Within his message on this day: "It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment." Photo taken from film footage.
