The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom

In this immersive lesson plan, students will explore the impact of the March on Washington, from its goals, to its participants, to how this singular event reflects the Civil Rights Movement at large. Using activities, charts, speeches, essays, and guided discussion, students will consider the historical context of the March, as well as the diversity of peoples participating in this epic moment in American History.
