Lot Description
[CIVIL RIGHTS]. SCHULKE, Flip (1930-2008), photographer. Demonstrators Arrive at Washington's (DC) Union Station. Washington, DC, August 1963 (printed later).
10 3/4 x 13 1/2 in. silver gelatin photograph (including margins) (near excellent condition, minor edge and corner wear). Recto with "P.44-B / 11-74-5222-5-16" written in lower margin and a Flip Schulke copyright sticker near lower right corner. Verso with additional Schulke copyright label and handwritten code. The following is penciled in the lower margin, "I certify that this silver gelatin photographic print was made under the supervision of the artist, Flip Schulke, in his lifetime," signed "Donna Schulke."
On 28 August 1963, over 200,000 people gathered in Washington, DC, for the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. Schulke's photograph documents the marchers' arrival at Union Station as they made their way to the Washington Mall. Later that day, Martin Luther King, Jr., delivered his famous "I Have a Dream" speech in front of the Lincoln Memorial.
