This is part of NPR's series about the intersections of race and politics n the US: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=93737975. I especially enjoyed the program, "How The Only Coup D'Etat In U.S. History Unfolded": http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=93615391

When the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his thunderous "I Have a Dream" speech during the March on Washington 45 years ago this week, he did so before the largest political gathering the nation had ever seen. Hundreds of thousands of people had descended on the capital for an event that would later be recognized as the tipping point in the fight for civil rights.

What's often overlooked is the fact that the march was supposed to have taken place more than 20 years earlier...
