Text transcribed from caption: P-29812 DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING ADDRESSES WASHINGTON MARCHERS WASHINGTON, D.C. -- A stirring climax to ceremonies at the Lincoln Memorial during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom was reached when Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., stepped to the rostrum and called on the nation to end racial discrimination “now.” The Baptist minister, head of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, was widely hailed as the “civil rights and religious leader” of the event.
