US president Joe Biden and vice president Kamala Harris will observe the 60th anniversary of the March on Washington on Monday by meeting organisers of the 1963 gathering and relatives of the Rev Martin Luther King Jr, who delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech at the Lincoln Memorial.

The Oval Office meeting will be held six decades after then-president John F Kennedy and Dr King met at the White House on the morning of the march on August 28 1963.
