The March, also known as The March to Washington, is a 1964 documentary film by James Blue about the 1963 civil rights March on Washington.

In 1990 Congress authorized these films to be shown in the U.S. twelve years after their initial release. In 2008, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". (Wikipedia)
