This Ephemera Friday, we’re highlighting a pennant and a few buttons from the pivotal 1963 March on Washington–a widely attended, landmark demonstration in the U.S. Civil Rights Movement.

Organized by a coalition of civil rights, labor, and religious groups, the march called for an end to racial discrimination and for economic justice, including fair wages and access to employment. Ephemera like pennants and pinback buttons offer a tangible record of participation and solidarity, demonstrating how everyday objects can carry the memory of movements that shaped the nation.

During the event, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech. A version of the speech annotated with peer-reviewed scholarship is available via JSTOR Daily.
