The words Martin Luther King Jr. spoke on the National Mall on August 28, 1963, have become an indelible part of American history. King’s speech still inspires us 50 years later, but its very power has also narrowed our understanding of the March on Washington. University of Wisconsin historian William P. Jones restores the march to its full significance by highlighting A. Philip Randolph and Bayard Rustin’s leadership and uncovering the inextricable links between the civil rights movement and the cause of economic justice.

This program is presented in partnership with the Center for the Humanities and the Institute for Research in the Humanities at the University of Wisconsin at Madison.

This program was recorded on November 8, 2014 as part of the 25th Anniversary Chicago Humanities Festival, Journeys: http://chf.to/2014Journeys
