August 28, 1963: The Continuing March from Exclusion to Inclusion

Today marks 57 years since the August 28, 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. The March has become a touchstone in American history and helped bring about the passage of the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964, prohibiting discrimination in the American workplace against millions of Americans. With this year's United States Supreme Court ruling in the case of Bostock v. Clayton County, the Civil Rights of 1964 continues to help move the American workplace from exclusion to inclusion. One month after the Bostock ruling, the last surviving speaker at the March, John Lewis, passed away. He left behind a final essay that offers a message of hope in a challenging time for how Americans can continue the work he dedicated his life to and which is embodied in the 1963 March. Our latest video, “August 28, 1963: Continuing the March from Exclusion to Inclusion,” was created for employers and employees to share to help support their inclusion efforts and mark the anniversary of the 1963 March.
