On August 28, 1963, more than 250,000 people came to the nation's capital. They came by plane, by bus, by car--even on roller-skates--to speak out against segregation and to demand equal rights for everyone. They also came to hear the words of a very special leader, Martin Luther King, Jr. Told with a wonderful
immediacy, this book captures the spirit of this landmark day in American history and brings Dr. King's ""I Have a Dream"" speech to vivid life for young children.
