  “The March” is a documentary by filmmaker James Blue (1930-1980) about the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in August of 1963. Blue filmed participants as they prepared for the March on Washington in their home cities, followed them as they traveled to Washington, and recorded some of the events on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. Note: this is a partial version of the film that does not include Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s speech.
