Wednesday, August 28 marks 50 years since the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, and of course one of the most famous political speeches of United States history, Dr. King’s “I Have a Dream” speech.  This is definitely a “teachable moment” and here are some links and resources that you might find useful.
