next yale university lecture charles euchner presents a history of the march on washington for jobs and freedom in 1963. marked by martin luther kings i have a dream speech at the lincoln memorial before a quarter million people. mr. euchner discusses his book at the new haven public library in new haven, connecticut. it s an hour and 15 minutes. seems a little outdated these days. we live in a cynical age and we have seen our leaders, all their warts, we have seen them fail. we ve seen the kind of cynical maneuvering behind the scenes, not for the better good for political advantage and for monetary advantage and so forth. but heroism i believe is one of the most important elements of any kind of social progress. by journalism i don t mean just a few great men or a few great women leading the masses behind them. but i mean a much more everyday version of your wisdom. and there is no better movement, no better moment in american history to find real heroes than in 1963
