From the
introduction: “This collection of graphic collages has been created specifically as a memento for those
who participated in the historic March on Washington for Freedom and Jobs on August 28, 1963. It
depicts man’s inhumanity, his cruelty to his fellow human being. This memento, we believe, will
inspire us to assert man’s decency and goodness through an understanding of anguish.” The introduc-
tion is signed in facsimile by the march leaders including Martin Luther King Jr., A. Philip
Randolph, James Farmer, and Whitney M. Young Jr.
WITH
—a wrinkled copy of the original hand-
out map of the march route and program * and a printed card to be filled out by participants: “I
pledge that I will not relax until victory is won.”
