what concerns inspired the environmental movement
That was unfortunate. Whether the organizers of last weekendâs rally knew it or not, the 1963 March on Washington inspired some of the pioneering activists who created the modern-day environmental movement. Some of those environmentalists participated in the civil rights movement that birthed the 1963 March. Since that time, however, the environmental and civil rights movements have never fully gelled together, despite some efforts to make that happen along the way. There were signs that the organizers of last weekendâs rally were again trying to connect the dots.
