Duane Morris partner and Chief Diversity Officer Nolan N. Atkinson, Jr., along with five other prominent African-American participants in the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in August 1963, shared his memories of participating in the March, and of Martin Luther King's historic "I Have a Dream" speech, in an article for NBC News.

"When Dr. King began with 'I have a dream today,' the words were so simple and so eloquent that you just listened. It took on an almost church-like feel as he spoke. I think people left that march feeling like, we're going to get this done."
