Lot Description
[CIVIL RIGHTS]. LO MONACO, Louis (20th century). March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom August 28, 1963: We Shall Overcome. New York: Urban League, [1963].
4to. 5 collage prints by Lo Monaco. Original publisher's pictorial folder (very light creasing at edges, short separation at folio hinge, some creasing at folio edges).
FIRST EDITION folio created for the historic March on Washington where Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his famous "I Have a Dream" speech. The prints depict, "man's inhumanity, his cruelty to his fellow human being. This memento, we believe, will inspire us to assert man's decency and goodness through an understanding of anguish." (Introduction, p.1) With facsimile signatures from march leaders including Dr. King, A. Philip Randolph, James Farmer, Roy Wilkins, Whitney M. Young, Jr., and Josephus, often called the "last living slave."
[With:] Smithsonian. July-August 2013. 4to. Original illustrated wrappers featuring the "We Shall Overcome" image (subscription name and address clipped). With article "A Change is Gonna Come: Americans who marched on Washington 50 years ago under a blazing sun recall the day they were part of a turning point in history" with interviews by Michael A. Fletcher.
