This is a color photograph of the 1963 March on Washington by James P. Blair. The image depicts a large crowd of people gathered between the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Captured from a view looking out from the steps, a blue and yellow NAACP cap is slightly out of focus in the near foreground. Two other individuals can be seen wearing the same cap in bottom right-hand corner of the image. Two American flags are mounted on poles rise from the crowd in the mid-foreground. The print is signed by the photographer at the lower left corner and labeled [5 of 9]. A caption by the photographer is printed along the bottom margin.
