March On: Rustin. An Audio Walking Tour of the National Mall
Description
Join Grammy Award Winning Composer Branford Marsalis on an original audio walking tour developed in a collaboration between the Trust for the National Mall and Netflix's RUSTIN. Though designed for visitors to the Mall, this audio can be enjoyed virtually anywhere in the world. March On: Rustin provides listeners with an opportunity to walk in the footsteps of the 1963 March On Washington for Jobs and Freedom, which cemented the National Mall's role as America’s Civic Stage. Learn about Bayard Rustin and his role as an architect of the March, its impact and its legacy.
This audio covers three locations on The Mall: The Lockkeeper's House, The Lincoln Memorial, and the approach to the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial.
Special thanks to StoryCorps. Interviews from the 50th Anniversary of the March on Washington included in the audio walking tour were recorded by StoryCorps, a national nonprofit whose mission is to illuminate the humanity and possibility in us all — one story at a time. Hear more at storycorps.org.
