Building Bridges, the National Edition
with Mimi Rosenberg & Ken Nash
*******
Fifty Years Later, Commemorating and Learning from One of the
GreatB Moments in History -
The 1963 March on Washington for Jobs, Freedom and Civil Rights
with
Prof. William P. Jones, author of The March on Washington: Jobs,
Freedom and Forgotten History of Civil Rights
We’ll probe deeply into the significance of the massive 1963 march and the
movement it inspired with civil rights and labor historian William P. Jones .
While in a resounding cadence, King lifted the crowd when he told of his
dream that all Americans would join together to realize the founding ideal
of equality, the very power of King speech has also narrowed our
understanding of the march which was organized by A. Philip Randolph
Pres. of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. Prof. Jones reminds us
that this was a movement of sustained grassroots organizing, linked locally
to women’s groups, unions, civil rights and faith-based organizations across
the country – it was a movement of the grassroots. Prof. Jones restores the
march to its full significance and with his fresh, compelling history delivers a
new understanding of this emblematic event and the broader movement it
propelled and what it instructs for building a movement now for Jobs,
Freedom and Civil rights as we get ready to return once again to March on
Washington on August 24th to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the
first March to demand the implementation of its still unrealized goals of Jobs
and Freedom. .
