[March on Washington]

Freedom March / Washington D.C. August 28th, 1963 [Pennant from the March on Washington]

Washington: 1963. Felt pennant measuring 11 ½ x 23 inches. A particularly fine example, with two small chips to white felt at border and slightest rubbing to the “f” in “for all,” else fine. Fine. Item #List918

A striking, large and apparently unrecorded pennant from the 1963 March on Washington, with Lincoln’s profile under the Capitol dome and the caption “Let’s All Join for Equality Now For All Americans / They Shall Not Have Died in Vain.”Various banners were produced for the event, we find a single record (Swann Galleries African-Americana sale 2562, lot 163) of this particular version, which is larger than any others and to our knowledge the only one with Lincoln’s likeness.

Price: $2,500.00
