The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom
Fifty years ago on August 28, 1963, a high point in the long pursuit of African American civil rights took place when hundreds of thousands of civil rights supporters from a coalition of groups came to Washington, DC for the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.
The March, the James Blue film documenting the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, had been out of circulation for decades until the National Archives Motion Picture Preservation Lab treated the film to a full digital restoration. To read more about the restoration efforts that went into The March, visit NARA’s Media Matters blog!
The National Archives is premiering the digital restoration of The March at the Archives building in Washington, D.C. at noon August 26th – 28th in the McGowan Theater and will make the restored version available for viewing online.
