Sisters That Swing!

The March on Washington Film Festival, a national civil rights and social justice non-profit, increases awareness of the untold events and unsung heroes of the Civil Rights Era and inspires renewed passion for activism. The Festival leverages the power of film, music, scholarship, and the arts to share these important stories. It was founded in 2013, on the 50th anniversary of the original March on Washington.
