LoMonaco's portfolio in halftone color reproduced the poster for the March on the cover, and was sold in Washington on the day of the March. It is uncommon, and is one of the great graphic commemorations of the 1963 March on Washington. From the introduction: "This collection of graphic collages has been created specifically as a memento for those who participated in the historic March on Washington for Freedom and Jobs on August 28, 1963. It depicts man's inhumanity, his cruelty to his fellow human being. This memento, we believe, will inspire us to assert man's decency and goodness through an understanding of anguish." The introduction is signed in facsimile by the march leaders including Martin Luther King Jr., A. Philip Randolph, James Farmer, and Whitney M. Young Jr.

Considered the largest demonstration for human rights in the United States, the protest was conceived by politician and activist A. Philip Randolph (1889-1979), whose focus was largely on improving the economic conditions of African Americans. His vision for the march garnered the attention of several key civil rights organizations and leaders, including Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968), who delivered the powerful "I Have a Dream Speech" at the event.
