Activists marched on Birmingham and Washington to protest racial segregation and discrimination, advocating for civil rights and justice for African Americans. The Birmingham march in 1963 highlighted the brutal realities of segregation in the South, while the 1963 March on Washington culminated in Martin Luther King Jr.'s iconic "I Have a Dream" speech, calling for equality and economic justice. Both events aimed to raise awareness and pressure the government to enact meaningful civil rights legislation.
