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!

PANEL DISCUSSION | EXECUTIVE

SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION

Some second amendment proponents believe that by repealing or recalling gun control legislation, they are protecting the civil rights of every American citizen.  On the other hand, gun control proponents believe that the by allowing our streets to be flooded with guns we are causing, what basically amounts to, genocide to a whole race of young people of color.  Either way you look at it, in a very real way, the controversy on how to handle the proliferation of guns in urban communities, is a civil rights issue.  Our panelist will discuss ways to deal with guns and gun violence.  Among our panelist is Julie Eichorn, national diversity coordinator for moms demand action for gun sense in America.
