Next week marks the 60th anniversary of the March on Washington, led by Martin Luther King Jr., which took place Aug. 28, 1963.
The Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth was one of the speakers addressing more than 250,000 attendees at the historic Civil Rights demonstration for racial equity.
Now, local civil rights leaders will gather at the church where Shuttlesworth was a pastor to commemorate the historic protest. Cincinnati's Martin Luther King Jr. Coalition is holding an event Sunday from 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 pm at the Greater New Light Baptist Church. There will be food and activities as well as remarks from local leaders, including Cincinnati City Manager Sheryl Long.
