His rally's pavilion speaker, Sarah Palin, praised "nationalists" in the audience for "knowing never to withdraw." .
The two supporters of the tea party motion spoke from the very touch where King had his "I Have a Dream" oral communication 47 twelvemonths ago. Some civil rights leaders who have denounced Beck's choice of a locale staged a rival rallying to honour King.
Palin, the 2008 GOP vice presidential candidate who may make a White House run in 2012, said activists must honor King's legacy by paying protection to the adult males and adult females who protect the United States in uniform.
Beck, pacing to and fro on the marble measures, said he was mortified by the size of the crowd, which stretched along the Washington Mall's long reflecting pond nearly all the way to the Washington Monument.
"Something beyond imagination is happening," he said. "America today begins to turn back to God."
"For too long, this country has wandered in darkness," said Beck, a Fox News host. He said it was now time to "concentrate on the good things in America, the things we have accomplished and the things we can do tomorrow."
Neither Beck nor Palin made overtly political comments.
Palin, greeted by chants of "USA, USA, USA" from many in the crowd, told the gathering, "It is so humbling to get to be here with you today, patriots. You who are motivated and engaged ... and knowing never to retreat."
