These prints are part of a souvenir portfolio made for the event, incorporated fragments of disturbing images from the movement, published for participants in the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, Aug. 28, 1963, with a group of halftone color photomechanical prints. The artist, Louis Lo Monaco, intended these to symbolize man's inhumanity to his fellow man. Civil Rights activists hoped that they would stir people's emotions and incite action.
