Gov. Pat Quinn appeared at Chicago's DuSable Museum of African American History to mark the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington.

Quinn made the appearance on Saturday, the same day thousands of people marched in Washington to commemorate Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous speech. The Illinois governor said it was important to honor those who marched in the 1960s.

Later Saturday Quinn planned to attend the 7th Annual Civil Rights Game at U.S. Cellular Field between the Chicago White Sox and the Texas Rangers.
