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!

Rosa Parks: an introvert who changed the world.On December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing  to give up her seat to a white passenger on a Montgomery, Alabama transit bus.  You’ve probably read about what happened that day many times in history books. But to actually hear her personally describe what happened that day is something very few people have had the opportunity to do.  Well now you have that chance.

    The picture was staged. The man over her shoulder to the left was Nicholas Chriss, a UPI reporter, and the picture was taken months after the original incident.
