More Than a Dream: The Radical March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom
Yohuru Williams, Michael G. Long
This account traces the 1963 March on Washington from its earliest concept through its planning and the day it took place. It follows debates over Bayard Rustin’s organizing role, Anna Arnold Hedgeman’s push for women speakers, and the response to John Lewis’s proposed remarks. The narrative also addresses friction with the Kennedy administration, practical planning challenges, and uncertainty over whether people would attend. Yohuru Williams and Michael G. Long present the event’s complicated path to the march.
