History of the March on Washington
The Brian Lehrer Show | Aug 28, 2023
The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom took place in Washington on August 28, 1963. William Jones, historian at the University of Minnesota and the author of The March on Washington: Jobs, Freedom and the Forgotten History of Civil Rights (W.W. Norton & Co., 2013), talks about the march and listeners share their memories of the day, and we hear that day's speech from march organizer A. Philip Randolph.
