Phoenix will be one of a handful of nationwide locations for a March On For Voting Rights on Aug. 28, the 58th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s historic March On Washington, when he delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech.
The main event is planned for Washington, D.C., with satellite marches set to take place in Atlanta, Houston Phoenix, Sacramento, St. Petersburg and Miami, all places the organizers say voting rights are under attack.
The marches are co-sponsored by civil rights organizations that include the Drum Major Institute, originally founded by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and now led by his son Martin Luther King III, his wife Arndrea Waters King, and their daughter Yolanda Renee King.
