1968 Poor Peoples Campaign photograph 03
| Description: |
The mule train was the most symbolic part of the Poor People’s Campaign. In spite of the hardships of poor wagons, stubborn mules, a lack of blacksmiths, drivers and supplies, the 15-20-wagon train took a month to cross Mississippi and Georgia. It then moved by railroad to Alexandria, VA, to join the rest of the campaign as it moved into Washington, D.C. This archival material has been provided for educational purposes.
