Marching for Justice:
Hundreds of thousands of Americans gathered around the Lincoln Memorial to call for racial justice at the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. As this program details, Marian Anderson sang and leaders such as A. Philip Randolph, Mrs. Medgar Evers, James Farmer, and Martin Luther King Jr. gave speeches. [Note: Myrlie Evers was invited but her plane was late so she never spoke.] |
