All Aboard Reading! On August 28 1963 more than 250 000 people came to the nation s capital. They came by plane by bus by car--even on roller-skates--to speak out against segregation and to demand equal rights for everyone. They also came to hear the words of a very special leader Martin Luther King Jr. Told with a wonderful immediacy this book captures the spirit of this landmark day in American history and brings Dr. King s I Have a Dream speech to vivid life for young children.
