MARCH ON WASHINGTON
WEDNESDAY AUGUST 28, 1963
America Faces a crisis...
Millions of Negroes are denied freedom...
Millions of citizens, black and white, are unemployed ...
Discrimination and economic deprivation plague the nation and rob all peo-
ple, Negro and white, of dignity and self-respect. As long as black workers
are disenfranchised, ill-housed, denied education and economically depressed,
the fight of white workers for a decent life will fail.
Thus we call on all Americans to join us in Washington:
[Arrow] to demand the passage of effective civil rights legislation which will
guarantee to all
. . . decent housing
. . . access to all public accommodations
. . . adequate and integrated education
. . . the right to vote
[Arrow] to prevent compromise or filibuster against such legislation
[Arrow] to demand a federal massive works and training program that puts all
unemployed workers, black and white, back to work
[Arrow] to demand an FEP Act which bars discrimination by federal, state and
municipal governments, by employers, by contractors, employment
agencies and trade unions
[Arrow] to demand a national minimum wage, which includes all workers, of
not less than $2.00 an hour.
JOIN THE MARCH ON WASHINGTON FOR JOBS AND FREEDOM
and become part of the great American revolution for human freedom and
justice Now.
