March on Washington - A Political Event Or a Gathering of Civil Rights Enthusiasts?
March
on Washington: Civil Rights March can look radically different among
COVID-19 pandemics. Here is what you should know about participating in
the march legally: "No one is going to prevent people from taking
action": 57 years after the original march, hundreds of thousands of
activists are planning a March on Washington for tomorrow. It's a symbol
of the people's right to voice their opinion against policies that
discriminate. With the recent passage of a landmark civil rights law,
the federal government is expected to hold the ground.
However,
in other countries and cities, the organizers of the march have
threatened violence, calling the March illegal and threatening to shut
it down. The March organizers claim that the participants will not
engage in any violence and that the event will be peaceful. The United
States Department of State is monitoring the situation and is expecting
to make a statement about the event later.
While the
civil rights marchers are gathering, President Barack Obama is preparing
a State of the Union address. He'll likely address the need for civil
rights legislation. But will Obama's speech include a call to action? If
the State of the Union doesn't mention it, won't that leave the
question unanswered? Will President Obama's speech is a State of the
Union or a pre-speech political rally?
March on Washington 2020 - A Political Even (Latest Update)
There will be
plenty of politics during the march. President Obama, Sen. Chuck
Schumer, Rep. John Lewis and others will be speaking. Many celebrities
are expected to attend. Madonna and Bruce Springsteen have already made
appearances. Celebrities often speak at the March, and many people have
already signed on to speak at a rally or speech afterwards.
The
Civil Rights Movement is a deeply personal movement for many people.
When a government official says, "I'm sorry," how does that person
respond? At a civil rights march, it's likely that the marchers will ask
everyone to apologize. It's also likely that some people will not
participate.
So the question is whether the March on
Washington will be a political rally or just a gathering of people? On
one level, the answer is no. But on another level, it's impossible to
say.
The most important thing to keep in mind is that no
one can guarantee the safety of participants or protesters during the
March on Washington. Some organizers have said that they are planning on
being peaceful. However, the Department of Defense has issued a release
saying that "a large number of military police forces" will be at the
area.
In other words, there's a chance that things could
get messy. It's possible that a group of people might have a
confrontation with police officers or other protesters. But in general
most of the demonstrations should proceed as planned.
It
will be hard to determine who will attend the march if the event is
postponed. But most people have been very vocal about their intentions.
They've signed up to volunteer at a march or to bring their kids to the
rally. They also plan to join marches and protests elsewhere around the
country.
The march is a very significant part of the
Civil Rights Movement. A march alone isn't going to change much. What it
will do though, is to send a message.
When we look back,
the march is one of the most important moments in the struggle. It's a
great opportunity to reflect on the past and the future. It's a good
time to think about what we're going to achieve if we continue on this
path and what's at stake in the future.
People have been
marching for so long that they've become quite accustomed to seeing
people on the street in all kinds of clothing. So the march is unlikely
to turn into a riot. However, it can certainly be a tense situation for
those that wish to speak out.
