This month, my class is learning about the civil rights movement and about the March on Washington. To help us understand more about civil rights, we took on a role as someone in the time of the civil rights movement and figured out if we would march. I am a working white student living in Washington DC. It was hard to find a job. I’ve seen civil rights demonstrations on TV, but have never participated in one. I would march because it would be such a big crowd of people marching that I probably wouldn’t get hurt by people who don’t support us or arrested. I also wouldn’t have to travel very far. On the flyers that I’ve seen, it says to march on Washington for jobs and freedom. Maybe after African American people get better jobs, it’ll be easier to find a job for myself.
