March of Mourning Set for Nation's Capitol 50,000 to Hit at U.S. Defense Discrimination Muffled Drums Will Lead Dissenters in Silent Demonstration WASHINGTON - (ANP) The spectacle of 50,000 Negroes silently marching through the streets of Washington, behind muffled drums, will become a reality says Eugene P. Davidson, speaking for the Washington branch of the committee being organized by A. Philip Randolph to stage such a protest against unfairness of the administration in not doing more to see that Negroes are given jobs in the national defense projects. Two meetings, held in Washington recently, met with enthusiastic response and the leaders are planning an energetic drive to put over the program in the most effective manner. It is planned to have the marchers parade through the main thoroughfares of the city to the famous Lincoln Memorial, where Marian Anderson sang at the feet of the great emancipator and call upon the President to speak to the group there assembled. "We do not want any private meetings with committees," said Mr. Davidson. "We want the President to speak forthrightly on the problem and tell the world what this administration will and can do on behalf of the underprivileged minority groups in the city." Thorough coverage of the country is going to be attempted and buttons will be placed on sale to cover the costs of the hegira to the nation's capital. Radios, newspapers, advertisements all will be used in a concerted drive to put over the program, says Davidson.

Philip Randolph</a>, gained momentum in 1941. African Americans were frustrated by racial discrimination in the defense industry, one of largest industries at the time. African American leaders envisioned tens of thousands of marchers parading through the city and ending at the <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/33">Lincoln Memorial</a>. That Randolph choose the Lincoln Memorial as a rallying point was not surprising: the site had served as focal point for civil rights since segregated audiences participated in the <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/542">memorial dedication</a> in 1922.

Reaffirming Policy Of Full Participation In The Defense Program By All Persons, Regardless Of Race, Creed, Color, Or National Origin, And Directing Certain Action In Furtherance Of Said Policy June 25, 1941 WHEREAS it is the policy of the United States to encourage full participation in the national defense program by all citizens of the United States, regardless of race, creed, color, or national origin, in the firm belief that the democratic way of life within the Nation can be defended successfully only with the help and support of all groups within its borders; and WHEREAS there is evidence that available and needed workers have been barred from employment in industries engaged in defense production solely because of considerations of race, creed, color, or national origin, to the detriment of workers' morale and of national unity: NOW, THEREFORE, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the statutes, and as a prerequisite to the successful conduct of our national defense production effort, I do hereby reaffirm the policy of the United States that there shall be no discrimination in the employment of workers in defense industries or government because of race, creed, color, or national origin, and I do hereby declare that it is the duty of employers and of labor organizations, in furtherance of said policy and of this order, to provide for the full and equitable participation of all workers in defense industries, without discrimination because of race, creed, color, or national origin; And it is hereby ordered as follows: 1. All departments and agencies of the Government of the United States concerned with vocational and training programs for defense production shall take special measures appropriate to assure that such programs are administered without discrimination because of race, creed, color, or national origin; 2. All contracting agencies of the Government of the United States shall include in all defense contracts hereafter negotiated by them a provision obligating the contractor not to discriminate against any worker because of race, creed, color, or national origin; 3. There is established in the Office of Production Management a Committee on Fair Employment Practice, which shall consist of a chairman and four other members to be appointed by the President. The Chairman and members of the Committee shall serve as such without compensation but shall be entitled to actual and necessary transportation, subsistence and other expenses incidental to performance of their duties. The Committee shall receive and investigate complaints of discrimination in violation of the provisions of this order and shall take appropriate steps to redress grievances which it finds to be valid. The Committee shall also recommend to the several departments and agencies of the Government of the United States and to the President all measures which may be deemed by it necessary or proper to effectuate the provisions of this order.

Mr. Fisk, of New York, rose and addressed the House, as follows: Mr. Speaker: Upon a subject which has for several weeks past attracted the attention of this body, and indeed of every person in this nation, I feel it my duty to submit a resolution to bring the question promptly and fully before this House for examination and discussion. After the people of this country had recovered from the surprise and astonishment they felt at hearing of the capture of this city, and the destruction of the public buildings, their first inquiry was, where shall Congress sit with safety and convenience? Some designated one place, some another; but few, if any, imagined that the Councils of the nation would continue here. It is not merely necessary that the members of the General Government should be secure in their own opinion, they must be so in the opinion of the nation. The confidence and credit of the nation is identified with the security of the public Councils, and the safety of the public records. Menace this safety, and public confidence is impaired, public credit is shaken.

Her father was the brother of Theodore Roosevelt. In 1905, she married Franklin Delano Roosevelt, a distant cousin. Throughout her adulthood, Roosevelt was publicly outspoken on issues she considered important, such as expanded roles for women in the workplace and the rights of African Americans, Asian Americans, and refugees. FDR was elected President of the United States in 1932, having served as Governor of New York since 1929. During her time as First Lady (1933-1945), Roosevelt wrote a regular newspaper column called "My Day" in which she discussed not only her daily life but the humanitarian issues she was working on. Within the White House, she often brought humanitarian and civil rights issues to the attention of her husband and his administration. After her husband’s death, Roosevelt remained active in politics. President Harry S. Truman appointed her a delegate to the newly-formed United Nations in 1945, and she served as the first chair of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights. At the FDR memorial on the National Mall, Eleanor Roosevelt stands in front of the United Nations symbol, emphasizing her important role in the early years of that organization. For the rest of her life, Roosevelt remained an outspoken advocate of human and civil rights.
