"March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom" Vintage Flyer
Vintage flyer advertising the civil rights milestone event, the "March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom", held August 28, 1963 in Washington, D.C. Printed on cream paper measuring 5.5" x 8.25". Light wear and foxing, overall in very good plus condition.
The purpose of the March on Washington was to advocate for the civil and economic rights of African Americans. At the march, final speaker Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., standing in front of the Lincoln Memorial, delivered his powerful oration, "I Have a Dream", in which he called for an end to racism. The march was nationally televised and shone a light on Jim Crow laws and widespread unemployment. One of the capstone moments of the Civil Rights Movement, the March on Washington led to the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
This item comes with a Certificate from John Reznikoff, a premier authenticator for both major 3rd party authentication services, PSA and JSA (James Spence Authentications), as well as numerous auction houses.
