3:45 pm – 4:45 pm Civil Rights Writers Workshop | 50th Anniversary March on Washington

50th Anniversary of the March on Washington

On August 27th hundreds of citizens attended the 2013 Conference on Civil Rights: Marching Forward By Looking Back. The following morning, on August 28, 2013, thousands of citizens, from across this country, converged upon our nation’s capital to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the 1963 March on Washington.

This site provides opportunities for people to share remembrances of and pictures from both marches. Additionally, visitors to this site can get updates on a variety of ongoing civil rights initiatives intended to make Dr. King’s dream a reality.

Thank you for your support!

SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION

The board of the center for the study of civil and human rights laws (CFSCHRL) choose three authors whose written works on civil rights are exceptional but, perhaps, have not gotten the recognition or distribution they deserve. Let’s just say this is our civil rights version of the “Oprah book club”. Come and listen to these authors describe their work and discuss how your own written views, whether published through print or social media, can have an impact on the present day struggle. Appropriately one of our workshop presenters include, Gary Younge, author of “the speech: the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s dream. Attend this workshop and you’ll find that “the pen is more powerful for the sword.”
