Pilgrimage for Freedom - Inspiring Journey to Liberty & Self-Discovery | Perfect for History Enthusiasts & Spiritual Seekers

Thousands came, from 30 states, to the Prayer Pilgrimage for Freedom at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington on May 17, 1957. They wanted more, and faster, action on civil rights issues and to look back and forward on the third anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education. The photograph seems to capture perfectly the mood of the time: No one in the picture looks satisfied or triumphant.
