is a black and white photo showing a large group of people marching through the streets in Washington, D.C. Several have signs reading, We march for effective civil rights laws now and no U.S. dough to help Jim Crow grow.
The caption reads, Starting at the Washington Monument, a sea of attendees marched a mile to Lincoln Memorial to listen to speeches by civil rights leaders.
It was a Wednesday, but that didn't stop about 250,000 Americans from gathering on the National Mall in Washington, DC.
The one-day demonstration included members of civil rights groups, churches, synagogues, trade unions, fraternal organizations, and women's clubs.
Movie stars, novelists, and politicians also participated in the event.
It was a day to be remembered, one commentator said.
Never had so many organizations joined together in such a massive demonstration.
Never had such a cross-section of the American people been united in such a vast outpouring of humanity.
Officially known as the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, the demonstration captured the nation's attention.
Its message had been preserved through the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s I Have a Dream speech, which he gave that afternoon.
Among many famous lines he delivered that day was this one, I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.
Fighting for Economic Rights The march's meaning, though, was broader than the vision of King's Dream of Freedom.
The primary organizers of the march were labor leader A. Philip Randolph and civil rights and peace activist Bayard Rustin.
They had brought together the six largest civil rights groups for the event, but Randolph and Rustin believed that civil rights and economic rights went hand in hand.
Freedom presupposes a decent standard of living, Rustin later explained.
So while the marchers called for federal laws against discrimination, they also demanded the right to employment.
They called on the government to create a massive federal program to train and place all unemployed workers on meaningful and dignified jobs at decent wages.
They demanded a national minimum wage that guaranteed all Americans a decent standard of living.
Randolph was the director of the march, but Rustin managed the day-to-day organization.
He oversaw big issues such as messaging and behind-the-scenes details, such as creating a manual for organizers.
