Where were you 50 years ago today?

If you were too young to remember, where were your parents or caregivers? Today marks the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington, D.C. for Jobs and Freedom where Martin Luther King, Jr. gave his famous "I Have a Dream Speech" on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.











And what about the laws that exist today ensuring our Civil Rights and access to Equal Employment?
