On Saturday, the 60th anniversary of the historic March on Washington was held in Washington, D.C. The event, which was smaller than the original gathering in 1963, aimed to merge the current concerns of Black America with the history of the Civil Rights movement. Speakers at the event vowed to continue fighting against racism and inequities to fulfill Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream.

Many attendees, like Ann Breedlove who participated in the original march as a teenager, reflected on the transformative power of fighting for justice. They hope that the current generation of young people present at the march will also be inspired to make a difference.

The speakers addressed a range of concerns that echoed the issues discussed in 1963, such as ending segregation, strengthening voting rights, improving public education, and advocating for fair wages and civil rights. However, they also discussed newer challenges, including the removal of Black history from K-12 education, limitations on access to abortion, reversals on LGBTQ rights, and the Supreme Court's abolition of race-conscious college admissions.

While the event was a continuation rather than a commemoration, it served as a reminder of the progress that still needs to be made in the fight for racial justice in America.
