WASHINGTON (AP) – Church bells rang out Wednesday, Aug. 28 at Washington National Cathedral and at sites nationwide to answer a call from one of the most important civil rights speeches in history to “let freedom ring.”
Organizers said people at more than 300 locations in nearly every state were ringing their bells to commemorate Martin Luther King Jr.’s Aug. 28, 1963 “I Have a Dream” speech.
The bells rang for about 15 minutes to commemorate the speech.
