“Euchner has turned the March on Washington into a ‘people’s
history.’ Compelling and dramatic, this book is an important
contribution.”—Juan Williams, author of Eyes On The Prize and news
analyst for NPR and Fox News
“A sharp, riveting depiction of what Martin Luther King called the
greatest demonstration for freedom in the nation’s
history.”—Kirkus
“The March on Washington was a demand to make the Constitution of
the United States work for black people—to cash the blank check, as
Dr. King put it that day …Euchner’s superb book brings it all back
in vivid detail.”—Roger Wilkins, author of Jefferson’s Pillow
"'We must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force
with soul force,’ said King near the end of the long, hot day.
Euchner’s dignified book reflects that kind of power."—James
Sullivan, The Boston Globe
"The pages crackle and vibrate with the voices of unsung heroes who
drove, flew, rode buses and trains, hitchhiked, even walked long
distances to be there in the Great Emancipator's stone shadow as
Dr. King spun out his immortal 'Dream.'”—John Egerton, author
of Speak Now Against the Day
