The MOWM was the model for the 1963 March on Washington, where Martin Luther King, Jr. gave his famous âI Have a Dream Speech,â and the militant Black-only politics of the MOWM foreshadowed the Black Power movement of the late 1960s.
A march on Washington was planned in 1968, but was overshadowed by the assassination of SCLC founder, Dr. Martin Luther King on April 4, 1968 in Memphis. The Poor Peopleâs campaign collapsed despite an attempt to continue the effort by Kingâs successor, Rev. Ralph David Abernathy.
