25. Bayard Rustin(left) and Cleveland
Robinson (right), organizers of the
March, on August 7, 1963
Civil Rights March on Washington, D.C (leaders of the March)
46. Because they marched…
And because they kept marching, America
changed. Because they marched, a Civil Rights law was
passed. Because they marched, a Voting Rights law was
signed. Because they marched, doors of opportunity and
education swung open so their daughters and sons could
finally imagine a life for themselves beyond washing
somebody else’s laundry or shining somebody else’s
shoes. (Applause.). Because they marched, city councils
changed and state legislatures changed, and Congress
changed, and, yes, eventually, the White House
changed.
