On August 28, 1963, an estimated 250,000 people marched to the Lincoln Memorial in Washington where they heard Martin Luther King Jr. deliver his, "I Have A Dream" speach. It was almost the largest peaceful protest in American history. This event changed America forever, and it was also broadcasted live all across the nation thanks to television networks. Television really brought Martin Luther King Jr's message to every home in America. Without this capability I believe it would have taken many more years before such heightened awareness would have allowed for such a desperately needed change for race equality.
