Thousands gather in Washington, DC as fight for racial equality continues

Thousands of people descended on Washington, DC’s Lincoln Memorial in the United States on Saturday, to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the March on Washington.

The protest in 1963 was the setting for Martin Luther King Junior’s famous “I Have a Dream” speech.

It was also a major moment in the country's civil rights movement.
