None

President Barack Obama led civil rights pioneers Wednesday in a ceremony for the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington, where Dr. Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech roused the 250,000 people who rallied there decades ago for racial equality.

 

Large crowds gathered at the Lincoln Memorial, where the first black US president spoke just after 7:00 pm GMT -- the same time that King delivered his spellbinding speech. (AP)
