On March 23 and August 23, 1983, conferences on the Civil Rights Movement were held at the National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution, with the intention of learning more about Howard University, aiming to recognize the students and instructors who were activists involved in the Civil Rights Movement, and in order to discuss their traveling exhibit on Civil Rights Movement photography, curated by Worth Long: "We'll Never Turn Back". The August conference discussed the March on Washington in 1963, in honor of the twentieth anniversary. Those who spoke at the conferences were Dr. Bernice Johnson Reagon, Philippa Jackson, Dr. Caroline Lena Ware, Dr. Marian Musgrave, Dr. Gloster Current, John Lewis, Walter Fauntroy, and John Raines.
