Milestone in Black history. Black History Month

As Black History Month winds down, we're remembering the Freedom Sunday rally at Chicago's Soldier Field, which took place on July 10, 1966. More than 30,000 people listened to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. speak powerfully about racial injustices in the housing industry. The Chicago Freedom Movement had begun a year earlier when local civil rights groups invited Dr. King to lead demonstrations against segregation in education and housing as well as employment discrimination. The movement lasted from mid-1965 to early 1967 and is credited with inspiring the Fair Housing Act, passed by Congress in 1968.
