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.

The Supreme Court has wrapped up a term with significant rulings on race and discrimination. Justices were divided on cases affecting voting rights, immigration, and birthright citizenship. They narrowed key provisions of the Voting Rights Act, arguing that partisan gerrymandering isn't necessarily racist. The court also upheld birthright citizenship for all born in the U.S., rejecting attempts to limit it. In another case, they found that Trump's anti-immigrant comments weren't racist. These decisions have deep implications for American politics and society, especially as debates over race and identity continue to evolve.
