In Washington, D.C. on August 28, 1963, more than 200,000 people gathered for racial equality. Historians say The March on Washington -- for Jobs and Freedom -- spurred President Kennedy to initiate a strong federal civil rights bill. Of course, it's also where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his “I Have A Dream” speech.
This weekend marks 60 years since the march, and thousands will return for a commemoration. Retired Denver County Court Judge Dianne Briscoe will be among them. This trip is special because her mother, Ruth Cousins Denny, attended the 1963 event.
Judge Briscoe spoke at her home in southeast Denver with Chandra Thomas Whitfield.
