Artists have always provided inspiration in times of trial and struggle. Singers, actors, dancers and others have created original works of art inspired by the civil rights movement. At our August 28 event at the Oakland Museum commemorating the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, these artistic works will be on display and available for purchase.
