(In the summer of 1963, a single event captured the attention of the United States and the world: The March on Washington. More than 250,000 people came to the nation's capital to demand equality for blacks and to urge Congress to pass pending civil rights legislation. More than 2000 "freedom buses" and thirty "freedom trains" converged in Washington, bringing more than a quarter million marchers, over 60,000 of them white. The march was the largest demonstration of its kind in the history of the United States.) Illustrated: Black in White America: Leonard Freed: J. Paul Getty Museum, 2010, p. 132.
