Courage to pluck it out of the ether and make it a reality, especially when the dream feels far too ambitious to ever come to fruition. But on August 28, 1963, 250,000 dreamers joined hands and bravely put one foot in front of the other to create a defining moment in history that rewrote destiny for future generations. 60 years after the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, TIME and American Family Insurance came together to commemorate and honor the indelible impact it left on society and reaffirm their commitment to supporting today’s fearless dreamers. Difficulties will always arise. Change will always need to be manifested into existence. But a fearless dreamer paired with a brave community holds the power to bring in a new dawn with a single step. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/branded-content/american-family-insurance/mlks-march-on-washington-and-the-fierce-urgency-of-now/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/branded-content/american-family-insurance/mlks-march-on-washington-and-the-fierce-urgency-of-now/"},"headline":"Honoring the March on Washington","datePublished":"2026-07-20T09:47:15.906Z","dateModified":"2026-07-20T09:47:07.633Z","description":"","url":"https://time.com/branded-content/american-family-insurance/mlks-march-on-washington-and-the-fierce-urgency-of-now/","keywords":[],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/branded-content/american-family-insurance/mlks-march-on-washington-and-the-fierce-urgency-of-now/","name":"Honoring the March on Washington"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"AFI Honoring the March Sizzle","description":"","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/5RIJy0Ph/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2023-08-22T22:57:53.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/5RIJy0Ph.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/branded-content/american-family-insurance/mlks-march-on-washington-and-the-fierce-urgency-of-now/","duration":"PT1M22S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/branded-content/american-family-insurance/mlks-march-on-washington-and-the-fierce-urgency-of-now/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
