Mostly Economics Podcast #:18 Beyond 'I Have a Dream' - The Forgotten Economic Demands of 1963 with Dr. William P. Jones
Dean Baker speaks with historian Dr. William P. Jones about his book "The March on Washington: Jobs, Freedom, and the Forgotten History of the Civil Rights Movement." They explore how the famous march began as a protest for jobs and economic justice, the crucial role of labor unions in organizing the event, and why the economic demands—including full employment and a living minimum wage—have been largely erased from popular memory. The conversation also examines how these economic justice goals remain unfulfilled today, from the decline of union power to recent spikes in Black unemployment.
