The photograph shows a group of predominantly Black demonstrators amid numerous banners. Clearly legible are signs from the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, Virginia State Unit, with the location Danville, VA, as well as demands such as “We Demand an FEPC Law Now!” and references to voting rights. A young man in the center of the image wears a T-shirt with the handwritten inscription “Help Danville, VA,” a reference to the concurrent protest campaigns in the city of Danville. The scene documents the organized arrival of local delegations to the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom on August 28, 1963. The demands carried—civil rights, voting rights, and legislation for a Fair Employment Practices Commission (FEPC)—illustrate the dual purpose of the march: political equality and economic participation. The image exemplifies the coalition of church, labor, and civil rights groups that made the march the largest mass demonstration of the American civil rights movement.
