Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The march was to emphasize the need for civil rights, for enforcement of laws in support of rights, for fairness in commerce and education, and for peace in Vietnam and at home. It built support for the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act and their passage through Congress.
The main goal of the March on Washington was to get the support to pass Kennedy's civil rights bill.

Randolph planned the march on Washington along with Bayard Rustin and AJ Muste. The purpose of the march was to protest racial discrimination in war industries, desegregation of armed forces, end segregation, and propose an anti-lynching law.
A. Philip Randolph threatened President Truman with a mass march on Washington, D.C. by 100,000 African Americans in 1941 if the military did not desegregate. Randolph's plan put pressure on Truman and convinced him to issue Executive Order 9981 in 1948, which called for the integration of the armed forces and prohibited discrimination based on race, color, religion, or national origin.
