[CIVIL RIGHTS]. An Appeal to you...to March on Washington. New York, 1963.



5 1/2 x 8 1/4 in. printed handbill (light wear including folds, some creasing, short tear to right edge). With inked stamp of "Bay Area Headquarters...San Francisco." Although printed in New York, the event had national reach as evidenced by the San Francisco stamp.

A call to join the March on Washington with an appeal from ten march organizers including Martin Luther King, Jr., John Lewis, A. Philip Randolph, and Roy Wilkins. The handbill lists the demands of the marchers, directing them to "get information on how to go to Washington by calling civil rights organizations, religious organizations, trade unions, fraternal organizations and youth groups." Although printed in New York, this handbill was distributed in San Francisco, exemplifying the nationwide reach of the gathering.
