Throughout the first two books of March, by John Lewis, a lot of major events like sit-ins, stand- ins, and marches took place. These events were being led by either Lewis himself, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., or other members of peaceful organizations (SNCC, Freedom Riders, etc.). Although there were many marches that contributed to the overall effect in the end, four main events stood out to me; The Nashville Student Movements’ first sit-in in Nashville, TN. (1960), standing in line to try and buy tickets to get into segregated movie theatres in Nashville, TN. (1961), the march led by Dr. King in Birmingham, AL. against a court order (1963), and the march on Washington (1963).

This march was to help with how the laws against blacks were taken down for good and how it affected their future. This is probably one of my favorite stories ever.

The march consisted of all different kinds of people. There were blacks and whites, rich and poor, young and old, and Hollywood stars and normal everyday people.

The speeches at this assembly are some of the most famous and well known speeches that are still remembered today. There are many events from the Civil Rights Movement that changed our daily lives, including speeches and court cases, and there are key people who were involved in them . Some of the major events included the Brown v. Board of Education (1954), he Montgomery Bus Boycott of 1955-1957, the Greensboro Sit-ins (1961), March on Washington (1963), the 24th Amendment being passed (1964), and the

I think that the March on Washington impacted many people on August 28, 1963. I think it had an impact on such a large amount of people because it set black people free from getting shot down on jobs because of their skin color, and kids were able to go to any school after that. They demanded the right to vote, decent housing, and a minimum wage of $2.00 an hour for everyone that had a good job. The March on Washington was a big day for many, many

groups. The march was centred around trying to get a passage of a civil rights bill and for executive action

The March on Washington is said to be the highlight of the civil rights movement.  The march was not planned by one group, many civil rights activist groups gathered to plan this march.  The agreed to all meet at the Washington Monument and march to the Lincoln Memorial.  Almost 250,000 people showed up for the march, and this was the same day Dr. King Jr. gave his “I Have a Dream” speech.  Also  on this day John Lewis challenged President Kennedy, but not in protest or violence,  according to the document he said  "We will not stop. If we do not get meaningful legislation out of this Congress, the time will come when we will not confine our marching to Washington…. But we will march with the spirit of love and with the spirit of dignity that

On August 28, 1963, over 200,000 people gathered in Washington DC to participate in the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. The march is also known as the March on Washington or the Great March on Washington. The march was organized by a number of civil rights and religious groups. The reason why the march was organized was to shed light on the political and social challenges African Americans faced across America.

250,000 black and white Americans converged on the nation’s capital for the March on Washington, often considered the high point of the nonviolent civil rights movement. Organized by a coalition of civil rights, labor, and church organizations led by Phillip Randolph, the black unionist who had threatened a similar march, it was the largest public demonstration in the nation’s history at that time. Calls for the passage of a civil rights bill pending before Congress took center stage. The march’s goals also included a public-works program to reduce unemployment, an increase in the minimum wage,

The word education is absent from the U.S. Constitution. Based on this fact, how is Federal involvement in public education justified?

However, one of the most popular forms to share and demonstrate our opinions as citizens are marches and protests. Parades and marches were indeed a from the Progressives used to publicize and convince many about their efforts. Despite that, many of these parades, especially in Washington D.C. on March 3, 1913 faced violent responses that included in the assault of many women. This was not always the case. For example, a nonviolent mass direction action is the March on Washington on August of 1963. This march was part of the Civil Rights act movement. This march led from Washington monumental to the Lincoln Memorial and consisted of songs, chants and speeches of civil right leaders that fought for jobs and freedom. Some of the most notable speeches that came out of this march was Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I have a dream speech”, which is known to promote racial justice and equality. The previous examples, demonstrated marches and protests for social reforms, but not all marches are related social reforms. Some marches like the Anti- War march in 2003 that voices the opposition of the invasion of Iraq. More than 10 million people in over 600 cities joined these efforts to voice their discontent with the Bush Administration, but many felt and still feel ignored by the administration. In this case, no agreement or compromise could be reached. In our current society, the rise of racial unrest led to various marches such as the Anti- Trump and May Day marches. Marches and protests are a very popular way Americans and citizens from all over the country still use to voice their opinions. They are planned with the goal to lead to social reform or social change. However not all marches end up being nonviolent such as the March on Washington. In fact, many end up violently leading to the involvement of the police. Marches have always existed and will
