March on Washington 50th Anniversary

A ‘Racial Cold War’

Colum­nist Mor­rie Rys­kind ex­pressed his cri­ti­cisms of the march in the Aug. 28, 1963, is­sue of The Times, ar­guing that the civil rights move­ment had “turned in­to mo­bism and thus for­feited the sym­pathy of the av­er­age Amer­ic­an.”
