evidence: During a news conference at his Mar-a-Lago Club on Aug. 8, 2024, former U.S. President Donald Trump claimed the crowd during his speech at the Ellipse in Washington on Jan. 6, 2021, was larger than the number of people who gathered for the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom on Aug. 28, 1963. [...] The March on Washington in 1963 drew crowds estimated at more than 200,000 people. The Martin Luther King, Jr. Research and Education Institute at Stanford University published the number of "more than 200,000 demonstrators." The National Park Service reported "an estimated 250,000 people" attended the march. Meanwhile, the NAACP said "the rally drew over 260,000 people from across the nation." [...] As for Trump's speech on the Ellipse on Jan. 6, no credible estimates came close to that of King's.
