Before the 472 Union College graduates received their degrees, civil rights leader U.S. Rep. John Lewis told the graduates to "find a way to get in the way."
"You must leave here and get in trouble," Lewis added. At age 23, he was a keynote speaker at the march in August 1963 where 250,000 people gathered at the Lincoln Memorial to hear Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s iconic "I Have a Dream" speech.
