On this 54th anniversary the Anne Frank Center brings the heat:
54 years ago, the March on Washington. Two weeks ago, @POTUS aimed a wrecking ball at Dr. King's dream we share. The dream will never die. pic.twitter.com/ioJ9uO0X0U

Lest we forget, today is the 62nd anniversary of Emmet Till’s murder. The date for the March on Washington was specifically chosen to coincide with the anniversary of Till’s murder.
On this date in 1955, Emmett Till was abducted by two white men in Mississippi and brutally murdered. 62 years ago. pic.twitter.com/waj3wQu1gY
