Organizers and program speakers A. Philip Randolph, Roy Wilkins, Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., Mathew Ahmann, Whitney Young, Floyd McKissick, John Lewis, Walter Reuther, Rabbi Joachim Prinz, and Eugene Carson Blake lead the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom where Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his famous “I Have a Dream” speech at the Lincoln Memorial.
And Freedom For All contains (48) unpublished photographs from the archives of LOOK magazine photographer Stanley Tretick and depicts the march participants surrounding the Lincoln Memorial; African Americans participating in the March; and President John F. Kennedy and Vice President Lyndon Johnson at the White House, U.S. Capitol and Lincoln Memorial with Martin Luther King, Jr. and organizers.
An archetypical photojournalist, Stanley Tretick was born in Baltimore and raised in Washington, graduating from Central High School. Trained as a photographer in the Marine Corps, he served in the pacific during World War II and then covered D.C. as a tough-talking cameraman. Following a stint as a copy boy for The Washington Post, he joined Acme Newspictures and photographed combat during the Korean War. Later Tretick moved to United Press, documenting Capitol Hill and the presidential campaigns of the fifties. The agency, soon known as United Press International, sent Tretick on the road with Kennedy in 1960; the photographer befriended the candidate and made many of his best pictures during this time. When Kennedy took office, Tretick was given extensive access to the White House and the picture magazine LOOK hired him to cover the President and his family.
Stanley Tretick died in July 1999 at the age of 77, just days after John F. Kennedy, Jr.’s plane crashed off the coast of Martha’s Vineyard.
