IT’S OFFICIAL: THE CIVIL RIGHTS MUSEUM ON WHEELS (AFTER LEADING THE MARCH ON AUGUST 28TH) WILL BE PARKED IN THE NATIONAL MALL IN THE SHADOW OF THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL AND WASHINGTON MONUMENT

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!

An official within the National Park Service has just confirmed that the Civil Rights Museum on Wheels (CRMOW) will be a part of the “Freedom Festival” which will take place on the National Mall during the week that our Nation celebrates the 50th Anniversary of the historic March on Washington.

The CRMOW is an authentic 1950s GMC transit bus (actually used during the period of segregation) which has been totally restored and equipped with a state of the art audio/visual system. This on board technology will allow passengers to “get on the bus” and actually hear Rosa Parks talk about what happened on the day she was arrested. Additionally, two drop down DVD screens will allow today’s “freedom riders” to see Doctor King deliver his ” I Have a Dream Speech ” and/or see other video presentations including a award winning video short on the Montgomery Bus Boycott.

JOIN us (and the Civil Rights Museum on Wheels) on August 28, 2013 as we March for Jobs and Justice!
