March for Jobs and Freedom, On This Day in 1963

#OnThisDay Martin Luther King Jr. gave his “I Have a Dream” Speech in 1963 at the March for Jobs and Freedom in Washington D.C. to thousands of union members.

Lost to history is the emphasis on the March for the fight for jobs that paid a living wage and the role of the labor movement in organizing this massive demonstration.

Images above depict members of the International Ladies’ Garment Worker Union (ILGWU) packing Pennsylvania Station in New York City, standing in front of the Lincoln Memorial, heading on buses to Washington D.C., and marching through the capitol with ILGWU signs.

Le 28 août 1963, lors de la Marche sur Washington pour l'emploi et la liberté, Martin Luther King prononce l’un des discours les plus emblématiques de l’histoire moderne : « I Have a Dream ». Devant plus de 250 000 personnes rassemblées devant le Lincoln Memorial, King partage sa vision d'une Amérique libérée du racisme, où la justice et l'égalité prévaudront pour tous, quelles que soient leurs origines. Ce discours, devenu un symbole universel de la lutte pour les droits civiques, a marqué un tournant décisif dans la quête de justice sociale aux États-Unis et continue d’inspirer des générations à travers le monde.

Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day!

By the end of this month (August 28) we will have marked the 60th Anniversary of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. Please take some time this week to learn about the remarkable accomplishments (and the struggles!) of that event's organizers, and the many OTHER speakers besides Dr. King. Learn about the lives of Bayard Rustin, Asa Randolph, Whitney Young, and of course the much-missed John Robert Lewis.

Learn also the reasons why such luminaries as James L. Farmer or James Baldwin DIDN'T speak, the role played by Prathia Hall, or why Daisy Bates ultimately was the only woman to address the crowd, that day.
