Of the white teenagers are unem-
pIoyed.
Negroes are not free to attend
schools they desire; do not have
access to higher learning in the
South, and In many cases can't
get better schools because hous-
ing In America Is segregated,
said Randolph.
Negroes can't register and vote
and they cannot find proper public
accommodations without contend
ing with "a humiliation of the
spirit and an agony of the soul"
He analyzed the preferential
treatment" issue by pointing out
that when an area of our country
is devastated by flood or storm,
that area must have preferential
treatmet" in order to restore 1t.
DEFENDS bayard HuSt1n
During the question and answer
period, Randolph was called, once
again, to defend his Deputy March
Chairman, Bayard Rustin who has
been labeled a Communist by Sen
Strom Thurmond of South Caro-
lima.
''The March on Washington
Movement has no influence with
Communists" he bristled "I would
not tolerate any Communist to
have anything to do with this
movement"
And then he defended Rustin by
saying he personally selected him
to organize the March and that
Rustin had been working with him
for a quarter Of a century.
Shows No Rancor Against Meany
If the AFL-CIO did not go along
with Randolph by refusing to en-
dorse the March, Randolph refused
to show rancor toward George
Meany for the action the high
labor council took at its meeting
at Unity House.
Said the gallant figure who was
aware that the nation was on the
move with or without Meany: The
AFL-CIO Is working on the pro-
gram. Brother Meany and myself
have not always agreed ON meth
odology, but we have not disagreed
on the objective"
He caused a ripping chucl1le in
the audience when he declared "the
AFT-CIO Is non-committally nom
commital," and then he added,
"the spirit Of the AFL-CIo is
good"
Questioned On NEGRO Leadership"
A queStioner who thought he
could shake up NY. Congressman
Adam Clayton (who was sitting
on the dias) by asking Randolph
to comment on Powell's reputed
statement that the Negro must
go 1t alone" got this reply.
Negroes must take the leader
ship" Jews lead Jews, Catholics
lead Catholics and labor people
lead labor unions. But he added
that Negroes should not lead alone,
because allies were necessary and
needed.
Kennedy, A Courageous Statesman
Randolph pleaded for passage Of
a federal fair employment prac-
does bill and told his audience that
the Negroes came to Washington
10 support President Kennedy's
civil rights bill. He called the
President a courageous statesman.
Supporting demonstrations which
he said win continue, Randolph
explained that the Presidents civil
rights bill might never have been
presented had It not been for q
Birmingham. Demonstrations are
a necessary part Of every revolu-
ton, he added.
With telling eloquence, he en-
thused: &c. no force under the
sun can stem or block this revolu-
Hon."

really knew each other and want
ed to be with each other-and had
no fear.
They were neither sad nor fes-
tive. They did not seem to be talk
ing too much, but appeared TO
know where they were going and
intended to get there. They We're
dressed neatly and cleanly.
The March, itself, was not real
ly a march, but a procession NOV
ing majesticaIly down Constitution
Ave. from the grounds Of the
Washington Monument to the
grounds of the Lincoln Memorial.
The walk" was not disorgan-
lied, but it was not organized
either like a parade or military
show. Thousands upon thousands
of people simply moved down Con-
stitution Av., saying little, laugh
ing little, carrying their signs and
banners. It was impressive and In
spring.
Radio, T.V. Change Tune
BY this time, however, a uansi-
ton had already come over the
radio and TV personnel Of the
mass media. There had been no
violence and they were beginning
to be caught up IN the sincerity Of
these white and Negro marchers
and their dedication of purpose.
They had begun to sense, some
how, that they were being called
upon to relate to the world not
only the physical act Of the March,
but the seriousness and intent of
those who came to march.
The second most Impressive
sight during the days demonstra-
ton came shortly after IL noon
when the second contingent of
marchers began to approach the
Lincoln Memorial, coming from the
Washington Monument down the
Mall, ON either side of a three
block long Rejecting Pool.
Watching from a perch high on
the steps of the Memorial, saw
thousands of people and signs
move slowly toward the Memorial.
Their approach was reflected in
the waters of the pool and was
wrought with a pageantry that is
difficult to describe.
Finally their numbers merged
with the thousands already pres
ent, and from ,that point ON, there
was nothing but an ocean Of people
and signs separated only by the
shimmering waters of the pool
The sight was unforgettable.
The day was hot The sky was
blue and partially clOuded. The
temperature was In the sos.
The sun was shining and the
weather could not have been bet
ter.
The main program did not be-
gin until 2 pm. But before It
began the crowd was entertained
by many outstanding personal
tiles In the entertainment world.
Included among them were folk
singers, Odetta, Josh White, The
Freedom Singers, Peter Paul and
Mary. Short well-recedved talks
were also given by the Rev. Fred
Shuttlesworth, Harry Belafonte,
DIR. Ralph Bunche, Comedian Dick
Gregory, Josephine Baker who
flew from Paris along with actor
Bert Lancaster who presented a
scroll Of more than 1900 names of
Americans in Europe who, he said,
could not be at the March, but
wanted to express their sentiments.
