Martin Luther King 3rd speaks during an event to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the 1963 March on Washington at the Lincoln Memorial on Saturday. “The task is not done, the journey is not complete,” the 55-year-old human-rights advocate said. “The vision preached by my father a half-century ago was that his four little children would no longer live in a nation where they would be judged not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”
Summoning the spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., tens of thousands of people descended on Washington’s National Mall on Saturday to reaffirm goals the slain civil rights leader laid out 50 years ago.
But many in the crowd stretching from the Washington Monument to the steps of the Lincoln Memorial said the equality envisioned by King in his famous “I Have a Dream” speech remains beyond reach for too many.
