The rally, titled \u201cRestoring Honor 8\/28\u201d will coincide with the 47th anniversary of the 1963 March on Washington, at which Martin Luther King Jr. made his legendary \u201cI have a dream\u201d speech. The rally has been advertised as \u201cnon-political,\u201d and Beck has specifically stated that it won\u2019t be a Tea Party rally. However, keynote speakers include Sarah Palin and Ted Nugent, and sponsors include the National Rifle Association. Civil rights activists and leaders have criticized the event. Marc Morial, president of the National Urban League, referred to Beck\u2019s record of racially insensitive comments when he denounced the Honor rally as \"an effort to embarrass and poke a finger in the eye of the civil rights community.\" Reverend Al Sharpton has planned a march for the same day to commemorate King\u2019s legacy, but he has also confirmed that his march will not interact with or confront Beck\u2019s Honor Rally. August 28 will also mark the release date of Charles Euchner\u2019s book \u201cNobody Turn Me Around, A People\u2019s History of the 1963 March on Washington.\u201d Building on extensive interviews, archives, FBI files, and private recordings, the account reveals the complex struggles of march organizers and civil rights leaders in 1963, while also weaving in stories of ordinary people who traveled across the country to participate in the movement. In bringing to life this critical day in US history, Euchner\u2019s book serves as a powerful reminder of the arduous and on-going struggle for equality.<\/p>\n<p><em>GUEST: Charles Euchner, author of Nobody Turn Me Around: A People\u2019s History of the 1963 March on Washington.
