Additional Information
Photographed on January 15, 1975, this powerful image captures Reverend Jesse Jackson surrounded by marchers during a jobs march around the White House in Washington, D.C. The demonstrators carried signs advocating for the Hawkins-Humphrey Bill, legislation that sought to commit the federal government to a policy of full employment.
The march took place on the birthday of Martin Luther King Jr., lending symbolic weight to a demonstration rooted in King's economic justice vision. Jackson, who founded Operation PUSH in 1971, was among the most prominent civil rights leaders of the decade and an advocate for addressing unemployment and inequality.
The U.S. News and World Report photograph collection documents decades of American political life through its staff photographers. Their images preserve a visual record of the demonstrations, debates, and public figures that shaped the national conversation during some of the most consequential years of the twentieth century.
This historic photograph stands as a testament to the ongoing struggle for economic justice in America, offering a window into a pivotal moment in the movement for full employment during the 1970s. It appeals to collectors of civil rights history, American political photography, and Washington, D.C., documentary heritage.
