OAS Commemorates 60th Anniversary of the March on Washington DC: “Its Legacy and Impact in the Americas”
August 21, 2023
The Organization of American States (OAS) will commemorate the 60th anniversary of “The March on Washington: Its Legacy and Impact in the Americas” this Thursday, August 24 at 11:00 EDT (15:00 GMT), hosting a discussion panel on the March and its legacy in the Hall of the Americas at OAS headquarters in Washington, D.C.
The March of August 28, 1963, the occasion where Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his now-iconic “I Have a Dream” speech, and when some 250,000 people gathered in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. to draw attention to continuing challenges and inequalities faced by African Americans a century after emancipation is a turning point in American history. It was the precursor of many other social justice movements in the USA, and eventually, throughout the Americas.
To this end, the US Permanent Mission to the OAS, in collaboration with the OAS General Secretariat, through the Department of Social Inclusion and other stakeholders, including the International Institute on Race, Equality and Human Rights, the George Washington University Law School (International and Comparative Law Program), and the Special Rapporteurship on Economic, Social, Cultural, and Environmental Rights (REDESCA, for its initials in Spanish) are organizing this panel to analyze how the March on Washington awakened the call for social justice in the Americas and how its central goal continues today and will continue well into the future.
The meeting will be broadcast live - with interpretation in Spanish, English, French and Portuguese- on the OAS Website and the OAS Facebook page
