The photograph shows a group of demonstrators during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom on August 28, 1963. In the foreground stand several men in suits, shirts, and hats, many wearing event badges; in the background, additional participants crowd together with signs. Legible demands include “Civil Rights Plus Full Employment,” “We Demand Equal Rights Now,” and “We March.” The mixed composition of the group—Black and white participants side by side—reflects the broad coalition of civil rights, labor, and church organizations that supported the march. The image documents the dual demands of the demonstration for equal civil rights and for employment, which were among the central concerns of the U.S. civil rights movement.
