Civil rights marches are organized public demonstrations aimed at advocating for equal rights and social justice, particularly for marginalized groups. These marches often focus on issues such as racial equality, voting rights, and anti-discrimination laws. They serve as a platform for individuals to express their demands for change and to raise awareness about injustices. One of the most notable civil rights marches in history is the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in 1963, where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his famous "I Have a Dream" speech. Such events have played a crucial role in shaping public opinion and influencing legislation related to civil rights in the United States.
