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.

“MARCHING FORWARD BY LOOKING BACK: A COLLECTION OF REMEMBRANCES FROM THE 1963 MARCH ON WASHINGTON”

image
This is the most important collection of personal remembrances ever assembled on the great March on Washington.  Congressman John Lewis and Julian Bond’s recollections provide the insider perspective of the march while the personal remembrances of countless others allow readers to get a more intimate and personal view of the ’63 March on Washington.

Every page and every picture of this book pulls you back into the history of the civil rights movement  in America yet simultaneously pushes you forward into an examination of where these leaders and march participants believe we need to go as we struggle as a nation with ineffective and segregated urban schools, escalating urban violence, and painfully stubborn headlines which remind us that racial profiling remains a part of America’s landscape.
This is a must read for anyone who believes that sometimes you have to look back before you can march forward.

50 incredibly powerful pictures (from the 2013 50th Anniversary March on Washington) accompany each of the 50 essays and remembrances.

But with over 250,000 people at the March, there were many many more people who did not have household names or recognizable faces, but their presence at the ’63 march was just as impactful and important.
