- The '63 March: Forty Years Later
- From
- WGBH Radio Boston
Forty years ago, thousands of Americans made their way to Washington D.C. for a civil rights demonstration like no other before it: The March for Jobs and Freedom. Emboldened by the stirring speeches, marchers pledged to return home to fight for civil and economic rights. Now, forty years later, some of those who took part in the historic march are asking, How far have we really come? In the fifth of a five-part radio series from WGBH Radio Boston, independent producer Phillip Martin looks back at the march through the eyes of those who were there.
