Statistic About the March On Washington

There were an estimated 250,000 people at the March on Washington in 1963. This picture gives a glimpse to how many people that is by effectively using the perfect angle to show the group as a whole as well as a few individuals. The fact that so many people were unleashing so much emotion at once to fight for their rights showed the need for change in legislation during that time period. 250,000 (and possibly more) people wouldn't get together like this to fight for a cause if the cause was not legitimate. This amount of people marching together hand in hand, yelling for their rights and forcing the government to action proved their point more than any statistic could have.
