The March on Washington is one of the most iconic and history-changing marches in U.S. history.
To this day there is so much to appreciate, discuss, and analyze about the March on Washington, which took place in the middle of the Civil Rights Movement, back in 1963. The March on Washington Film Festival aims to do just that. In its sixth year here in Washington, D.C, the film festival's mission is to ...“finds, encourages, and brings to life stories of both icons and foot soldiers from the Civil Rights Movement. We educate, inspire and motivate people to have a better understanding of our history.”This year the festival will have 27 different events spanning all over the city over nine days. It will take place from Monday, July 9, to Saturday, July 21, 2018. Whether you’re interested in the politics, the specific sects of people that participated, or the aftermath of the March, there’s a film for you.
