Today is the 57th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I have a Dream" speech. It was a landmark day in U.S. history with the civil rights march on Washington.

In front of a crowd of more than 200,000 people, King said he hoped people would be judged by character, not skin color.

To honor that historic day, there will be another march on the nation's capital today.
