A large coalition led by the Rev. Al Sharpton and the family of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. will mark the anniversary of the historic March on Washington next month with a march for democracy. Sharpton’s National Action Network announced Tuesday plans for March on Washington 2026: Defend the Vote on Aug. 28 on what will be 63 years since the 1963 march. The NAACP and the National Urban League are among multiple groups participating. The location and other details will be announced later. The original March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, where King gave his famous “I Have A Dream” speech, is considered one of the most consequential racial justice demonstrations in U.S. history.
