Description: The dinner after the March on Washington On August 28 1963, a quarter of a million people rallied in Washington, D.C. for the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom to demand an end to segregation, fair wages and economic justice, voting rights, education, and long overdue civil rights protections. Civil rights leaders took to the podium to issue urgent calls to action that still resonate decades later. Music played a powerful role at the March, and decades later, the performances remain some of the most iconic of the era. People traveled from every corner of the country to join the March, and the unprecedented turnout was the product of the tireless work of civil rights strategist Bayard Rustin, A. Phillip Randolph, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and a coalition of civil rights, labor and religious organizations. Collected directly from national newspapers over the last 20 years. Used in the national project History in Pieces. Complete documentation includes the original certificate of authenticity (COA) and folder as purchased from newsroom.
