The
Lincoln Memorial was filled with over 250,000 civil right supporters Wednesday
afternoon. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered a glorious speech as a call to
end racism in the United States.
As
King referenced the Emancipation Proclamation while the whole crowd stands by
Abraham Lincoln’s symbolic shadow,
stating “This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had
been seared in the flames of withering injustice.”
