In 1968, the Poor People’s Campaign launched the Freedom Train, the movement’s first caravan of protesters. The Southern Caravan from Marks, Mississippi, like this one, included mules and wagons to symbolize the injustices of tenant farming, sharecropping, and the plantation economy. Starting May 14, visit a new exhibit that explore this chapter of our nation’s past in “Solidarity Now! 1968 Poor People’s Campaign.” #1968CampaignForPoor
