On August 28, 1963, The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom drew a quarter of a million people to the nation’s capital in order to protest racial discrimination and advocate for equal rights and opportunities for Black citizens.

Barbenheimer.

Barbie and Oppenheimer may not seem like they have much in common, but after watching both in quick succession, turns out, they do.
