MILES To Go: March On Washington Turns 60

On Aug. 28, 1963, more than a quarter million people walked in the historic March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom - the same march that saw the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. give his famous "I Have a Dream" speech. Now, 60 years later, the march is being recreated as advocates highlight the fight still ahead for equality.

The 1963 march helped lead to a host of new laws, including the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The landmark legislation banned segregation in public places and prohibited discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin.

Sixty years later, the march will be recreated on Aug. 26 by a host of organizations, including the NAACP, the Drum Major Institute run by King and his wife, Arndrea Waters King, and Sharpton's National Action Network.
