President Obama is scheduled to make a speech at the Lincoln Memorial on Wed. 8/28 commemorating the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington. NBC News will provide a live Optional Special Report at approx. 2:40p ET to cover Obamas speech. Lester Holt will anchor.

Stations wishing to air this coverage should monitor D#15 and switch locally after the :05 NBC News countdown.

More details to follow, monitor for Urgent Messages day-of-air.

The difference between a dream and a plan is a timetable.

Let's hear your timetable, Barack.  This is your moment to announce the change you promised.

Nice that Lester will introduce it..  one of the kindest NBC journalists remaining.
