This Is the Day: The March on Washington is a stirring photoessay by photographer Leonard Freed documenting the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom of August 28, 1963, the historic day on which Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his I Have a Dream speech at the base of the Lincoln Memorial. This book commemorates the fiftieth anniversary of the historic march that ultimately led to the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.Never before published in book form, the seventyfive photographs in this volume were chosen from among the hundreds of images that Freed made in the nations capitolbefore, during, and after the march. These images not only present us with stunning wideangle views of hundreds of thousands of marchers overflowing the National Mall but also focus on small groups of people straining to see the speakers and on individual faces, each one filled with hope and yearning, epitomized by the beautiful young woman who throws her entire being into singing 'We Shall Overcome. In addition are eighteen pictures from the twentiethanniversary march of August 1983, conveying a sense of celebration coupled with peaceful protest.Accompanying the photographs are a firsthand, backstage account of the preparations leading up to the march by social activist and civil rights leader Julian Bond; an essay on the importance of the march and Dr. King's involvement by sociology professor and author Michael Eric Dyson; and an informative discussion of Freeds approach to the photographic project by scholar Paul Farber.
