Race Quiet Concessions Amid Civil Rights Demonstration
James Marlow reports on Wednesday's civil rights march in Washington where about 180,000 Negroes maintained a remarkable quiet vigil under sunlit conditions. Rev. Martin Luther King Jr warned that peaceful calm must become lasting, or America will face renewed unrest as Negro citizens press for equal rights. John Lewis criticized political leaders and parties for exploiting injustice, urging sustained urgency beyond a one-day demonstration. The piece links past nonviolent tactics with Gandhi's era and notes that violence may rise if rights are not secured, despite temporary suppression of racial violence around the march.
