Maryland was once the site of a major Civil Rights protest: In 1963, civil rights activists organized the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, which drew more than 250,000 people to the National Mall in Washington D.C. Many of the participants in the march were from Maryland, and the state played a crucial role in the civil rights movement.
