Why this matters here

The National Park Service’s March on Washington article (with related King Institute identification) names A. Philip Randolph as march director and Bayard Rustin as principal organizer, stressing decades of planning, transportation, marshals, sound, schedules, and rivalries behind the day. The World We Make Together uses that organizational depth against the camera’s preference for King at the microphone. The source establishes directing and organizing roles; the book asks how photographs hold tension between visible speech and invisible infrastructure.
