Martin Luther King, Jr. called for those same reforms decades ago in his iconic &#8220;I Have A Dream Speech.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Like the 1963 March on Washington, organizers<strong> <\/strong>opened with a series of speeches at the Lincoln Memorial before attendees plan to march through the streets of the city, this time ending at the Martin Luther King Jr. memorial.<\/p>\n<p>This march \u2013 dubbed &#8220;Get Your Knee Off Our Necks&#8221; \u2014 comes at a particularly tense time as frustration over police brutality and use of force have sparked national outrage following the Memorial Day killing of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/tags\/862960939\/george-floyd\">George Floyd<\/a> by police in Minneapolis.<\/p>\n<p>Watch the livestream below.<\/p>\n<p>A common theme throughout the march was a call to action for attendees to register and to vote in the fall elections. <\/p>\n<p>Several of the speakers led the crowds in chants of &#8220;No Justice! No Peace!&#8221; And repeated the refrain that &#8220;Black Lives Matter.&#8221; At one point some in the crowd could be overheard saying &#8220;hands up, don&#8217;t shoot.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are in unprecedented, uncertain times,&#8221; Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., told the crowd. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yes, it is possible to legislate justice and accountability, people over profits, joy over trauma, freedom over fear. Yes, it is possible to write budgets that actually value black lives,&#8221; she said.  <\/p>\n<p>Gun control activist and 2018 Parkland, Fla., high school shooting survivor Aalayah Eastmond said gun violence is a scourge on black communities.<strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Police violence is gun violence,&#8221; Eastmond said. &#8220;And gun violence is the leading cause of death for Black youth. We demand to live in peace. We demand to live in spaces where the best of Black culture can thrive.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The program&#8217;s headliners will be civil rights activists Al Sharpton and Martin Luther King III. <\/p>\n<p>Later the event will feature family members of Black Americans who have been killed by police or in other racially-charged incidents, including Floyd, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/tags\/855710251\/breonna-taylor\">Breonna Taylor<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/tags\/852724061\/ahmaud-arbery\">Ahmaud Arbery<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/tags\/876641092\/rayshard-brooks\">Rayshard Brooks<\/a> and others whose names have become rallying cries during recent national protests demanding their killers be held accountable.<\/p>\n<p>Civil Rights attorney Benjamin Crump, who represents many of the victims&#8217; families, said &#8220;the problem isn&#8217;t de-escalation, the problem is racism.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Certainly as with all these tragedies you want accountability because we can&#8217;t get justice,&#8221; Crump said Friday on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2020\/08\/28\/906952096\/civil-rights-lawyer-ben-crump-discusses-the-ongoing-racial-tensions-in-the-count\">NPR&#8217;s Morning Edition<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div id=\"res905998262\">\n<div data-crop-type=\"\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-original=\"https:\/\/media.npr.org\/assets\/img\/2020\/08\/25\/mow-marchers-in-street-one-w-wheelchair_custom-f283ab82a1c6cba13484f656ebc148a9030a2554-s1100.png\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/media.npr.org\/assets\/img\/2020\/08\/25\/mow-marchers-in-street-one-w-wheelchair_custom-f283ab82a1c6cba13484f656ebc148a9030a2554-s1100-c15.png\"><\/img><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>\n                A scene from the original March on Washington, where Rev.
