The #PeoplesClimateMarch in New York City is being hailed as "the largest climate change protest in global history." But it's also up there with some of the largest mass protests in American history, comparable to the March on Washington in 1963, and the Iraq War Protest in 2003.

The million man march is a notable omission.

Great point. I went ahead and added the Million Man March and a couple of others. Thanks for helping us stay savvy. :)
