The march was starting becuase Marther luther king jr wanted to have his right's and every black person's right's and they wanted the rights so they started the march. to get there rights and the white people did'nt like that they were starting that march because they wanted to go in the same school as the white people and they wanted to drink in the same water fountain. and they white people didnt want that to happen so they went in and they beat any black people they saw. and they arrested some of them and they hit them and hurt them and anything they could to get rid of that march because they hated black people.Well the march helped us because the white people started to let them drink in the same water fountain, and the white people let them do anything that the white people could do because the white people got sick and tired of that march. because they would not stop that march in tell they got what they wanted and that was to be free and to get there right's like the white people get's theirs.
