White House to meet with the family of Martin Luther King Jr. to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the March on Washington

The president and vice president will host the celebration on Monday, Aug. 28, the anniversary of the historic event where Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his iconic “I Have a Dream” speech.

President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris plan to meet with the family of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and organizers of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom on Monday, the 60th anniversary of the historic event.

It has taken weeks for the White House to figure out how they wanted to mark this larger-than-life anniversary of an event that drew a then-historic crowd. In 1963, today!
