The 1963 march on Washington notice...
Item # 705920
August 22, 1963
THE VILLAGE VOICE, New York, Aug. 22, 1963
* Martin Luther King Jr. - civil rights movement
* March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom
* Community notice for bus & train trips to the event
* MLK "I Have a Dream" speech fame
Page 7 has a full page notice headed: "Rally for Civil Rights" and more. This was a community effort to get New Yorker's to go to this historic event. The bottom portion of this notice is a list of neighborhood businesses which supported this effort.
I suspect this to be an extremely rare item because their was really no reason to save it at the time.
