The march on Washington was one of the largest protests in US history. This was a rare protest were all races joined together to fight for rights for each other and themselves. All of those sit ins and bus boycotts lead up to this nonviolent protest at Washington where a speech was given to turn heads of people and enlighten them.
These people waited for hours showing there support for civil rights and equality. They chose to go against this peacefully in nonviolent protests. The lasting effect of this protest was mostly the famous " I have a dream" speech which showed people what could be possible and what the future could hold like today where white and black children go to school together.
