Al Sharpton (D-NY) looks on, from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, August 23, 2003. Thousands gathered to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the civil rights March on Washington where Martin Luther King delivered his "I have a dream" speech. Busloads from Mississippi to New York were expected to turn out in the capital for the event organizers hoped would force Republican administration policy changes and get minorities out to vote in the 2004 presidential election.
