Description

[Civil Rights] LoMonaco, Louis
"We Shall Overcome"
Original period printed poster reproducing the cover image of a souvenir portfolio published for participants in the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, August 28, 1963. The portfolio included five collage prints created by artist Louis Lo Monaco in recognition of marchers, who turned out in Washington, DC in excess of 250,000. The poster depicts three marchers holding hands juxtaposed with the hand of God from Michelangelo's
Creation of Adam
fresco at Rome's Sistine Chapel. Light wear to edges and corners, with horizontal crease at center, 14.25 x 17.75 inches (36.2 x 45 cm.), mounted to 18 x 22 (45.7 x 55.9).
Considered the largest demonstration for human rights in the United States, the protest was conceived by politician and activist A. Philip Randolph (1889-1979), whose focus was largely on improving the economic conditions of African Americans. His vision for the march garnered the attention of several key civil rights organizations and leaders, including Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968), who delivered the powerful "
I Have a Dream Speech
" at the event.
