Nation Marks 50th Anniversary of March on Washington 
-----------------------------------------------------


 
The nation is commemorating today's 50th anniversary of the March on
Washington for Jobs and Freedom, where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave
his famous speech, "I Have a Dream." President Obama will mark the
anniversary with a speech today from the same spot as King at the
Lincoln Memorial on the National Mall. Several African-American leaders
will also deliver remarks along with other guests, including former
Presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter.
