Watch live: March on Washington 60th Anniversary

The historic 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom will celebrate its 60th anniversary on Saturday, August 26. Activists will replicate the march in order to commemorate the anniversary.

Organizations such as the NAACP, the Drum Major Institute run by Martin Luther King III and his wife, Rev. Al Sharpton’s National Action Network and others will join together to once again coordinate a march in the shadows of the Lincoln Memorial and call for equality.

The main program is scheduled to begin at the Lincoln Memorial at 11 a.m. ET.
