Protest Marching

Sir, —One wonders what, if anything, is accomplished by all this peculiar phenomena of “marching.” In our own country, women march pushing prams in the strange belief they will influence de Gaulle, or affect the official policies of the Kremlin. In the United States, Negroes and whites march 50 miles to impress anyone who will be impressed, but one thing at least emerges from this action—it is obvious the Negroes must be able to afford so much time off work. Perhaps to the marcher it all makes sense, but to the onlooker it is fatuous.—Yours, etc., MARCH ON. March 28, 1965.
