Leah Puryear (Charlottesville School Board)

Bells pealed around the world on Aug. 28, 2013 at 3 p.m. – including those at the University of Virginia’s Chapel – to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech, part of the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. The Carter G. Woodson Institute of African-American and African Studies hosted the event, "The March@50," focusing on ways to revitalize the purpose of King’s speech, which emphasized the need for jobs and justice. That gathering was held in the auditorium of the Mary and David Harrison Institute for American History, Literature and Culture/Albert and Shirley Small Special Collections Library.Participants in the discussion included Frank Dukes, director of the Institute for Environmental Negotiation, based in the School of Architecture, and executive director of University and Community Action for Racial Equity; U.Va. students from the Black Student Alliance; Kristin Szakos, vice mayor of Charlottesville; Andrea Douglass of the Jefferson Heritage Center; Jim Bundy of Sojourners United Church of Christ; and representatives from the Living Wage Campaign. The participants offered their interpretations in any format they chose – in spoken words, song, dance, instrumental performance, etc., said Deborah McDowell, director of the Woodson Institute and Alice Griffin Professor of English.“My colleagues and I are envisioning this as an occasion to do more than memorialize the speech and reiterate its famous references to the ‘color of their skin’ and ‘the content of their character,’” McDowell said. “Rather, I thought we’d want to see this event as an opportunity – dare I say, an obligation? – to rethink the speech and attempt to re-invigorate its meanings and its promises, as well as the original purpose behind the march.“Let’s not forget that this was the ‘March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.’ The rhetoric of dreaming sometimes eclipses the call for jobs and freedom,” she said.
