The March on Washington only took six weeks to organize, as Black people were already actively participating in demonstrations for three years and were tired of discrimination.
The right to vote was one of the key reasons for the March on Washington, protesting discrimination and segregation based on race.
The March on Washington was a precursor to the signing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by President Lyndon B. Johnson, a significant step towards eliminating injustice in the country.
