Pictured is the Rev Al Sharpton of the National Action Network WASHINGTON, D.C.-Thousands of people gathered in Washington, D.C., and other cities across the country on Saturday to protest a recent slew of legislation that critics say suppresses voter rights, particularly for voters of color and young voters, in many Republican-led states.
The event, called the March On For Voting Rights took place on the 58th anniversary of the 1963 March On Washington when Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his "I Have A Dream" speech. Sunday's event was organized by the Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network and partner organizations. Other events also took place in Atlanta, Miami and Phoenix.
