The perspective captured in this snapshot provides a beautiful portal to students' thoughts on the Civil Rights Movement. The subject is nuanced--do we focus on the number of busses, the Capitol Rotunda, the African American women, the white men?
As you may imagine, students have many issues to ponder when beginning to reaearch the March on Washington.
The Google Cultural Institute's archives of the March for Jobs and Equality has images and documents, but an added bonus is the personal artifacts surrounding arguably the greeted social movement of the decade.
Students can check out buttons and pins worn by those assembled, as well as hear the voices of the demonstrators reflecting upon this period of history.
