Title: [1983 March on Washington for Jobs, Peace and Freedom]
Description: On August 28, 1963 more than 250,000 people gathered in Washington, D.C. to protest racism, violence and poverty, and to demand jobs and freedom. It brought together what came to be known as the "Coalition of Conscious" and broadened the alliance of various organizations -- civil rights, labor, religious, and student groups. Twenty years later, another "Coalition of Conscious" March for jobs, peace and freedom was organized to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the civil rights march on Washington.
