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!
Naturally there is great interest in the activities surrounding the celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the March on Washington. A number of national and international media organizations (including radio, television, and print) have made inquiries about covering the activities referenced on this site – including the conference on civil rights to be held at Howard University on August 27, 2013 and the commemorative march to be held on August 28, 2013. We are truly honored by these request and look forward to sharing the good news that comes from these and other related activities.
