from the office of the
Committee for the March
on Washington, Cleveland
Robinson, Chairman, Ad-
ministrative Committee, and
Bayard Rustin, Deputy
Director. While these “man-
uals” must have been printed
in the tens of thousands, these
are the first examples we have
seen in many years. Given the
size and scope of the March,
the organizers wanted to make
certain there was order and that
marchers were safe. The need for
box lunches and water were stressed,
given the anticipated August heat
in the Nation’s capital. Instructions
for reserving buses, trains and cars
were provided for in a space on the
last page of Manual No 2.
