Thousands converged on the National Mall for the 60th anniversary of Reverend Martin Luther King Jr’s March on Washington, saying a country that remains riven by racial inequality has yet to fulfil his dream.

“We have made progress, over the last 60 years, since Dr King led the March on Washington,” said Alphonso David, president and chief executive of the Global Black Economic Forum.
