Conclusion

We Shall Overcome

Focusing on Details: Zoom/Crop

Photographer Rowland Scherman, working for the United States Information Agency, took this photo that has become an iconic image of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom on August 28, 1963. Edith Lee-Payne of Detroit, Michigan, carried a March on Washington banner as she celebrated her 12th birthday by attending the March with her mother. You can watch a short video about this photo on the National Archives YouTube Channel.

Answer the following questions in preparation for a class discussion:

  1. What does the banner that Edith is holding tell you about the reasons behind the March on Washington? 
  2. Why do you think the organizers of the March chose the Lincoln Memorial as the place to end their march?
  3. Why do you think it took place in Washington, DC? What impact do you think this had?
