Rx For Resilience: March
Marching is also as a way for people to come together in a nonviolent way and demand change, to amplify an issue, to participate in the political conversation, to celebrate, and to exercise free speech. Marching for political change has been an important way people, especially those of color, could demand justice and equality. Some of the most famous and important marches in America are celebrated and remembered during Black History Month. The Birmingham Campaign and the March on Washington happened 60 years ago in 1963. These movements were led by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Reverend James Bevel, and Reverend Fred Shuttles, among others. They paved the way for massive movements like Black Lives Matter during which 15-26 Million people participated throughout the nation.
The act of marching is a crucial tool for highlighting issues and the rights of marginalized people. In the 1970s, a new wave of social activism, fueled by the civil rights movement saw the gay rights movement demanding change and equal rights through marching. Women's March organized the largest single day protest in American history. On January 21, 2017 five million people marched across the globe, in every state, on every continent launching a movement.
The unifying act of marching can be used to share music, joy and celebration, come together, or demand change. Let us march together for a better tomorrow, remembering those who marched before us and creating a better world for those who will come after us.
