The US Embassy has set up a poster show in the foyer of the University library on Martin Luther King Jr and the March on Washington.

During the march, held on August 28, 1963, thousands of Americans marched to the memorial of Abraham Lincoln, author of the Emancipation Proclamation, and Dr King Jr delivered his famous ‘I have a dream’ speech.

The poster show will remain in place until February 28. During February, the US is holding various events to mark Black History month to celebrate the rich legacy of African-Americans and honour their contributions to US society and the world.
