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!

photoThe “March for Jobs and Justice” will take place on August 28, 2013.The following is a detailed description of the route  (along with photographs of important landmarks along the way) of the August 28, 2013 “March for Jobs and Justice”.  The March is about 1.6 miles long.  Because there are many variable, we can not tell you how long it will take.  We will be led in this historic march by “veterans”  of the ’63 march.  Ahead of them will be the Civil Rights Museum on Wheels – a fully restored transit bus used during the segregation era.
