On this very special day, United Way of Western Connecticut urges everyone to reflect on the great works of Martin Luther King. On August 28, 1963 he led more than 250,000 people to Washington where he gave one of the most historic speeches of our time. We invite you to view this speech and think about the magnitude of... Dr. King's words and the bravery & passion of those who followed him there. We thank Dr. King, and everyone who contributed to the civil rights movement. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEMXaTktU fA
