The March

Nov 6th, 2007 by dengel

In James Farmer’s seventh lecture of the series, he retells the march on Washington D.C. on August 28, 1963 from his point of view–watching it on a small black and white television while in jail. He shares one of his own personal heroes, A. Philip Randolph who organized the march, as well as the reason that he decided to stay instead of taking the money to bail himself out of jail. Dr. Farmer then goes into the details of “the most unlikely and the strangest events of [his] life,” involving a police brutality protest march in Plaquemine, LA. Listen to learn what Farmer believed to be the source of his eye problems and how he got away from the police troopers that wanted him dead.
