Our Founder Robert Raben shares the incredible origin story of March On! From its inception, March On has been a platform for justice, using the power of collective action to continue the fight for equality in the modern era. In the ‘Historical Drama with The Boston Sisters’ podcast, Robert delves deep into the motivations, challenges, and successes that led to the creation of this vital movement, and how it continues to inspire change today. Robert discusses elevating untold stories, reclaiming hidden history, and the life of Bayard Rustin.

March On uses the power of the arts—film, performance, and visual arts—to find, encourage, and bring to life the stories of both icons and foot soldiers from the Civil Rights Movement. As a year-round arts platform, we are dedicated to fostering a deeper appreciation of these pivotal stories.
