Fifty seven years after Martin Luther King, Jr. led the March on Washington for civil and voting rights legislation, protesters returned to the steps of the Lincoln Memorial last week to demand justice for African Americans killed by police. The event, organized by King's oldest son Martin the third and Reverend Al Sharpton, attracted tens of thousands of demonstrators including the families of several victims.

How we got here. Where we're going. And what it means.
