Exclamation National Civil Rights March August 23, 2003

National Civil Rights March for "Jobs, Peace and Freedom" - Saturday, August 23, 2003 in Washington D.C.


At the end of summer, a national civil rights march will mark the 40 year anniversary of the 1963 March on Washington. Already, basically every mainstream civil rights and labor organization are signed on to this effort. This march is being billed as a march for jobs, peace and freedom. Our new civil rights movement must mobilize everyone that we can for this march.

At the Fifth Conference of the New Civil Rights Movement this weekend we will organize and plan our participation in this march.

This march is an essential moment for the young movement. It will be our first national opportunity to respond to the US Supreme Court decision in the University of Michigan affirmative action cases. The defense of affirmative action and integration and the fight for educational equality must be at the center of this march. The decision in the Michigan cases will intensify the discussion and struggle over affirmative action no matter how the court rules. We can set the stage for how the nation is responding to whatever that decision is.

At the August 23 march, we must launch our national struggle to realize the promise of Brown v. Board of Education - the campaign for integration and equality throughout American education.

The August 23 march is a chance for the new militant, integrated, independent civil rights movement to get organized and to show itself. It is a chance for us to prepare ourselves for what must be a massive effort over the coming year to build organization and to develop a new layer of young leaders who can lead American society through the next period of transformative mass struggle.

Make plans to be there and join the militant, integrated contingent of the new civil rights movement at the August 23 march in Washington DC.

I think that we as a leading organization around the world should make a committment to be there. Many of our chapters should be there. I can say with confidence that members of the Alpha Gamma Chapter and students of a great HBCU Morgan State University will be there! Because if we dont take charge who will? As long as im around that question will never have to be answered!
