Thousands flocked to the National Mall Saturday before the 50th anniversary of the historic Aug. 28, 1963, March on Washington featuring the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I have a dream" speech.
Speakers at Saturday's event included Attorney General Eric Holder, who credited King's speech for providing a foundation for the civil rights movement, CNN reported. He and other speakers said today's civil rights fight branches out to include people of other races and sexual orientations.
