This chapter contrasts the 1963 March on Washington with its 1983 commemoration event held in the anti-statist Reagan era. In the former, a succession of civil rights activists decried the assumptions of the liberal consensus about the resolution of racial problems. By contrast, in the latter, African American leaders and their supporters called on government to reengage with the postwar commitment to expanding employment opportunities and improving living standards for all Americans.
