King and the Washington March
August 28, 1963 was a day that would go down in history as one of the most important days in our nation's history. It was the day that over 250,000 people, both black and white, marched to our nation's capital, Washington D.C. in protest of segregation and racism. The man who led this march was a preacher from Alabama; Martin Luther King Jr. Hand in hand with peace and love all around, they marched to the Lincoln memorial. This is where King gave one of the most influential and important speeches that any man has ever given in the history of this nation, the "I Have a Dream" speech. This speech enlightened every person that had to courage to stand up against the evil of racism and segregation and do what's right in the world. The main point of the march was not only to protest racism and promote equality, but for congress to pass the Civil Rights bill, giving equal rights to everyone across the U.S.A.

This posting was not only inspirational, but informative as well. The specifics about the number of people that participated in the march and the legislation going through Congress at the time were a nice touch. Good work!
good job, you supported your topic with dates and facts, you may want to talk about how the march started
The comment was really brief but easy to understand. Maybe next time you could add what happened in the march, like other specific detials that happened. Great job.
Great job on describiing King's contribution to civil rights. You stated the important facts and did not put any boring or extra detail.
I like this because you focused on a certain event rather than all of Martin Luther King Jr contributions to civil rights act.
Nice informative posting. It was short, but too the point. I think you could have used a picture though. Nice job!
good job, short but very informative ,maybe adding more about what happened in Washington.
This was a very informative and concise post. Great job summarizing it, and hitting all the right notes about the march. A picture would have been nice though!
