This photo of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was taken on August 28, 1963, during his famous I Have a Dream speech, as part of the historic March on Washington. Over 250,000 people were present.

Hint

This photo was taken on December 1, 1955, when Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to give up her seat on a bus in Montgomery, Alabama. Her courageous stand sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott, which lasted 381 days and helped change the rules for public transportation. After the boycott, everyone was allowed to ride and sit wherever they chose. This was called desegregation, meaning people could no longer be separated by race.
