As the 60th anniversary of the March on Washington approaches, here's everything you need to know about the event. Organized by Martin Luther King III, Al Sharpton, Andrew Young, and other members of Martin Luther King Jr.'s family, the march is described as a "continuation" rather than a commemoration. The organizers aim to address the loss of rights for marginalized communities and call on Congress to pass revamped voting rights legislation.

The main event will take place at the Lincoln Memorial, where Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his famous "I Have a Dream" speech. The program will begin with preliminary speeches at 8 AM, and the main event is set to start at 11 AM. Speakers will include Yolanda Renee King, Martin Luther King Jr.'s 15-year-old granddaughter, civil rights leader Andrew Young, Rep. James E. Clyburn, UnidosUS CEO Janet Murguia, Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt, and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, the first Black House Minority Leader.

For those planning to attend, be aware of street closures related to the event, including Ohio Drive, SW, West Basin Drive, SW, 23rd Street north of Independence Avenue, SW, Daniel French Drive, SW, and Henry Bacon Drive, SW, which will be closed from 6 AM to 4 PM. The organizers are expecting around 75,000 people to gather on August 28th to mark this historic anniversary.
