Roy Wilkins, then executive secretary of the NAACP, appears here among a few of the roughly 250,000 people who gathered on the National Mall on August 28, 1963, and moved toward the Lincoln Memorial. The march, formally the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, was organized by a coalition of civil rights groups to press for federal action on voting rights, jobs and an end to segregation. Its most remembered moment came later that afternoon, when Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech from the memorial's steps. The record notes that the caption information is unverified, so the identities of the other marchers are not confirmed here.
