Peter Yarrow recalls hearing the "I Have a Dream" for the first time at the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. He was standing next to band mate Mary Travers on the historic day and recounts what she said. The March gathered over 200,000 people together on August 28, 1963 in Washington, D.C. to promote civil rights and labor equality.
