Example response:
Thank you for submitting a question to CGLA's Questions and Quandaries box. You submitted the question, "I heard that there were two marches in Washington D.C. in August of 1963. Is it true?"
Answer:
Yes, there were two marches in Washington D.C. in August of 1963. According to tolerance.org, "Two separate parades were held for male and female civil rights leaders. The men marched down Pennsylvania Avenue. The women—who included Daisy Bates, entertainer and activist Josephine Baker, and Rosa Parks—marched down Independence Avenue."
Another source, usatoday.com, states that, "...there were two lines of civil rights leaders marching on separate streets on Aug. 28, 1963: one for male civil rights leaders and one for their female counterparts."
Thank you very much for your participation in our project. Have a wonderful day.
