"The Walk to Freedom was a mass march during the Civil Rights Movement on June 23. It drew crowds of 125,000 people and was known as """"the largest civil rights demonstration in the nation's history"""" up to that date. Various ministers, including Martin Luther King Jr., and leaders of local and national organizations gave speeches or were in attendance.

The march was planned to honor the 20th anniversary of Detroit Race Riot and to honor those who died during the riot."
