of the white teenagers are unem-
ployed.
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 analysed 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 it.
Defends Bayard Rustin
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. II 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 chucEle in
the audience when he declared "the
AFL-CIO Is non-committally non
commital," and then he added,
"the spirit Of the AFL-CTO is
good"
Questioned On NEGRO Leadership"
A queStioner who thought ne
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
federal fair employment prac-
tees 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 will continue, Randolph
explained that the Presidents civil
rights bill might never have been
presented had it not been for a
Birmingham. Demonstrations are
a necessary part of every revolu-
ton, he added.
With telling eloquence, he en-
thused: %. no force under the
sun can stem or block this revolu-
tion."

Magnificent Day Is
Reporters Description
Of March In C.

ny Jesse Bell
Wednesday, August %, 1868,
was truly a magnificent day. It
was the day that over 100000
Americans of all colors marched
upon Washington to demonstrate
10 the Nation and the world that
the time is now. The cry was
Freedom Now!
Minnesotans were proud and
happy to be a part Of this fantas-
tic, huge, orderly procession.
Early Wednesday morning So folks
from the Gopher state boarded an
American Airlines charted plane
and flew to Washington
Our flight was pleasant, the two
stewardesses doing everything
they could to make our trip COM
Portable. They even expressed a
desire to join us in the march,
however both had TO return i'm
mediately to Chicago their home
base. We touched down in Wash
ington at exactly 1880 am. after
three and one half hour flight,
We were greeted in Washing
ton by some old MinnesOtans,
now working in Washington,
John Thomas, Richard (Dick)
Fox, Tony Granger, and also
congressional representatives Of
both parties.
After a brief press conference
at the airport we proceeded in
two charter buses to the First
Congregational Church in Down
town Washington.
Republican state chairman Rob-
ert Forsythe and Rhoda Lund, Re-
publican National Committeewom-
an were ON hand to greet the
marchers at the airport and also
went to the church.
A coffee hour was prepared at
the church, and at 10 am. Sam
Richardson presided over a press
conference with Senators Hubert
Humphry, Eugene Mccarthy, also
Congressman Don Fraser and Joe
Karth. All four Of the Minnesota
congressional representatives are
1908 behind the Presidents Civil
Rights Bill. The press conference
terminated at IL am. The group
quickly ate lunch and moved to
the business at hand the March
on Washington.
The Minnesota delegation moved
from the church 10 the staging
area. Here we Joined the most ex-
uberant and stimulating throng
imaginable. Groups from Della
ware, New Jersey, Wisconsin, New
York, all were In good spirits and
parading for the same cause Free
dom for all".
Tho March was so massive It
took US nearly 45 minutes to
walk ono eighth Of n mile. Along
the way folks would cheer the
Minnesota group and ask "what
city In Minnesota?
was overwhelmed when heard
an old nickname shouted from the
sidewalk, looking up found It was
my uncle, James Hampton from
Pittsburgh. He had known I was
going to the march and made up
his mind he would march with the
Minnesota group. How he picked
one person out Of 100000 Is beyond
me.
Greeting ten former friends
from Pittsburgh was an unex-
pected and heartfelt surprise.
Our march out Of necessity ter
minated at the corner Of Consti-
tuition Avenue we just could
go no farther. The rest of our day
was spent at this point. Here we
heard some of the most inspdra-
tional messages of a lifetime. Our
hearts and souls were overflowing
with emotion and devotion to this
cause. It was truly an unforget-
table day.
After the massive assembly the
Minnesota group moved to a loca-
ton where we were 10 meet two
buses to return us TO Washington's
National Airport. We boarded our
charter flight at seven pm and
touched down at Minneapols-St.

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 Were
dressed neatly and cleanly.
The March, itself, was not real
ly a march, but a procession NOV
ing majestcally 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 a 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 transi-
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 Reflecting Pool.
Watching from a perch high on
the steps Of the Memorial, I 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
shmmering 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-received talks
were also given by the Rev. Fred
Shuttlesworth, Harry Belafonte,
DR.. 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
