His Dream, Our Stories (Enhanced Edition): The Legacy of the March on Washington

In recognition of
the 50^th Anniversary of the March on Washington and Dr. Martin
Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech, Comcast NBCUniversal presents His Dream, Our Stories: The Legacy of the
March on Washington, an interactive book featuring intimate interviews with
more than 25 individuals, many who participated in the March, as well as
community and diversity leaders who were impacted by this historic event.

Through their
stories, readers will not only learn about the history of the March, but also
of notable events throughout the years that eventually led to that hot summer
day in August of 1963.

Included are
interviews with key figures of the civil rights movement, such as Jesse
Jackson, Andrew Young, Rev. Dr. Joseph E. Lowery, Mamie Chalmers, Marc Morial,
and Rev. Samuel “Billy” Kyles, along with others who attended the March in
person, watched it on TV, or were too young to participate but were affected by
its legacy nonetheless. There is also an introduction by Lester Holt of NBC
News.

His Dream, Our Stories: The Legacy of the March
on Washington is part of
Comcast NBCUniversal’s online and broadcast celebration and will serve as an
effective tool for current and future generations to learn about that fateful
afternoon and how it helped shape the civil rights struggle in America from
that day forward.
