“They were just hopeful that people would turn out. And what they got was what I think might still be the largest gathering of individuals here in Washington, D.C., on a march for equality and civil rights. About a quarter of a million people showed up that day. Busses came from everywhere and they lined the Constitution Avenue and they stretched out from the Capitol building pretty much back down to 16th Street.”

12. SOUNDBITE (English) Gary Fields, Associated Press:
“Dr. Martin Luther King, when he got up the speech that he delivered. The march itself has kind of been boiled down to the last 5 minutes of the of that speech where he talks about I have a dream today. And where he lays out this vision for what that dream is. And what his dream was what he thought America could become and what America could be if it lived up to the edict of equality for all men and fairness and justice for all men, regardless of race and creed.”

“And he looked out, and I've had a couple of historians say it to me, Jonathan Eig one of them, he said, you know, he looked out, he's got a quarter of a million people standing there on the Mall for as far as the eye can see. And he decided, hey, this is one really big congregation, so I'm just going to go for it. And who was going to stop them? It was Martin Luther King, Jr.”
