They chose Martin Luther King, Jr. as the protest’s leader and official spokesman.

By the time the Supreme court ruled segregated seating on public buses unconstitutional in November 1956, King—heavily influenced by Mathma Ghandi and the activist Bavard—had entered the national spotlight as an inspirational proponent of organized, nonviolent resistance.

With a massive crowd of over 200 000 followers, the march protested racial discrimination in schools and the workforce. They demanded minimum wage for all workers. It was the largest gathering in Washington, D.C.'s history. This was the site of King's famous "I Have a Dream" speech.

His speech marked him as a master orator, capable of punching his points with anaphoras - words or phrases repeated for emphasis - while citing powerful sources, including the Bible and the U.S. Constitution.

As a result of the march and the speech, the citizens of the nation began to put growing pressure on the presidential administration of b. johnson, encouraging the president to push for civil rights laws to pass through Congress and become recognized on a national level.
