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!

flhFannie Lou Hamer
once said “All my life I’ve been sick and tired. Now I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired.” If anyone had a reason to be “sick and tired” of being “sick and tired” it was Fannie Lou Hamer. Sterilized against her will when she was just a child and jailed and beaten for demanding and exercising the rights which we take for granted today, Ms. Hamer epitomized the blend of courage, community, and confidence that made the civil rights movement the success that it was.

If you know a woman, in your community, who has committed her life or profession to the cause of civil and human rights, please nominate her to receive the 2013 Fannie Lou Hamer Civil Rights Award.  Nominations can be submitted in the form below and are due no later than June 1, 2013.

The 2013 award will be announced at the August 27, 2013 Marching Forward By Looking Back Conference On Civil Rights.
