Poor People’s March from Baltimore to Washington, D.C., May 11-12, 2013
More than 150 people participated in the Poor People’s March from Baltimore to Washington, D.C. in commemoration of the 1968 Poor People’s Campaign organized by Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The march focused on police brutality and terror — more than 300 Black people were killed by police and vigilantes in 2012 — and the widespread poverty, unemployment and desperation. People gathered at the site in Baltimore where Anthony Anderson was so brutalized by the police he died of his injuries. The 41 mile march went through Baltimore to Freedom Plaza in D.C.
