_ Dean Baker speaks with historian Dr. William P. Jones about his
book "The March on Washington: Jobs, Freedom, and the Forgotten
History of the Civil Rights Movement." _

, CEPR

 

They explore how the famous march began as a protest for jobs and
economic justice, the crucial role of labor unions in organizing the
event, and why the economic demands—including full employment and a
living minimum wage—have been largely erased from popular memory.
The conversation also examines how these economic justice goals remain
unfulfilled today, from the decline of union power to recent spikes in
Black unemployment.
