By:Noah, Peyton, and Ashley One important event that helped create justice and equality was the March on Washington. This march made people think about how they treated other people. Also, this march helped change the law that would end segregation forever. The African Americans really cared about their equal rights and then other people decided to change how they treated them. Many events had to happen before this march started. First of all, President Kennedy was trying to pass a bill that would end segregation everywhere. If this bill passed into a law, then there would be no more segregation. So people marched because they wanted the bill to be passed into a law. Martin Luther King Jr. lead the march and he was the person who organized it. They marched to show their support for the bill. Another main reason that people marched was because they weren't getting treated fairly. Many people marched for other reasons also. For example, some people wanted schools to be desegregated. Other people wanted jobs for all because many people would not hire the African Americans. The last main reason that they marched was because they wanted voting rights for all African Americans. People who knew about the Montgomery Bus Boycott was angered about Rosa Parks getting arrested. They knew that the non-violent boycott worked to get buses desegregated so they wanted to try another non-violent protest. Many people agreed that they should do a march. They also did the march because they were outraged about the march in Alabama and how people were sprayed by hoses and attacked by police dogs but they also wanted to protest non-violently. Heavy police coverage was called to watch the march but was not needed because the march was noted for its civility and peacefulness. As you can see, a lot of events happened before the march that made the march occur. Many important effects happened after the march. For example, the bill got changed into a law and segregation ended. Also, after the march many more people wanted segregation to end. When the march came to an end, Martin Luther King Jr. gave his famous "I have a Dream" speech that inspired many people to stand up for their own equal rights as a person. This speech made many people beleive that the bill would pass as a law. Another thing that happend after the march was that signs that seperated African Americans and whites were taken down. Now African Americans could go where they wanted, eat where they wanted, and go to school together. They also had many other places that they could go that they couldnt go before. These are all the effects of the March on Washington. The March on Washington was a very important event that helped change justice and equality. Peyton feel's that these people would have to be very brave because the last march, they were attacked and they don't know if they would be attacked at this march also. Ashley feel's happy for the marchers because they marched for their freedom. Noah feel's inspired by the marchers because of their braveness and how they stood up for what they believed. We all connect to this event because we would all march for our freedom. Also, we would all be brave and still march even though we woudn't know if we would be hurt. From this information, we conclude that the March on Washington was a march that changed justice and equality.**
