Revisiting Martin Luther King's 1963 Dream speech
As people gather
today to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I
Have a Dream" speech, we look at images from that event in 1963 and
from tumultuous times during the civil rights movement. King's pivotal
speech addressing racism in this country was a crucial event in the
history of civil rights and one that will always be remembered, not just
on this milestone anniversary. -Leanne Burden Seidel ( 20 photos total)

250,000 people, explaining his wish for better relations between black
and white Americans. His words were engraved on the steps of the
monument where he spoke. (AFP/Getty Images)

Civil
rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. displays pictures of three
civil rights workers, Michael Schwerner, James Chaney, and Andrew
Goodman who were slain in Mississippi the summer before at a news
conference in New York on Dec. 4., 1964. He commended the FBI for its
arrests in Mississippi in connection with the slayings. As the
burgeoning civil rights movement gathered force in the 1960s,
demonstrators were brutalized and killed, sometimes at the hands of law
officers. Many slayings remain unsolved. But in some cases where local
authorities failed to go after the attackers or all-white juries refused
to convict, the federal government moved in with civil rights charges.
