WITH THE MARCH ON WASHINGTON FOR JOBS AND FREEDOM, August 28, 1963, Impressions of America on Its Way

by Nat Herz

—From the Foreword by the Rev. Dr. Joseph E. Lowery (1921-2020), a founder—with Martin Luther King, Jr. and others—of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, and its president from 1977 to 1997:

“The March represented an extraordinary confluence of events in the life of our nation. It was at the time, the largest mass demonstration in our history….The hundreds of thousands of ordinary Americans who came to Washington, DC,…unheralded Freedom Fighters,…are the focus of this moving and inspirational volume by the late, acclaimed photographer Nat Herz.”

—From the Introduction by Clayola Brown, President, A. Philip Randolph Institute; Civil, Human, and Women’s Rights Director, AFL-CIO:

“This book by photographer and poet Nat Herz gives a true and powerful description of the great March on Washington on August 28, 1963 for jobs and freedom. I am a witness. I was there. Reading this book, I feel once again the emotions experienced in Washington, DC on that day….Herz was a civil rights advocate and a student of Aesthetic Realism, the philosophy founded by the great poet, critic, and humanitarian Eli Siegel. He photographed and wrote about the March in such a way that we see and think about it as it really was.”
