Tomorrow is the 60th anniversary of the Frankfurt Civil rights march that included Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

The Frazier Museum in Louisville observed that anniversary with some of the original marchers in attendance to talk about the march and the civil rights movement in Kentucky.

Frank Stanley Jr, the editor of the Black owned Louisville Defender newspaper, decided to organize a march on Frankfort.

Remember, this is coming on the heels of the March on Washington in Dr. King's I Have a Dream speech in August of 1963.

As the organizers wrote to those who made the decision to march on Frankfort.

And I quote you as a believer in the cost for human dignity, are making your wishes known by participating in this historic petition of our elected officials for a redress of grievances.

People came from Bowling Green for Russellville and heads in Harlem and all over the city.

But these people, you know, they have seen blood, the place from Winchester, people who came from all over the state, 10,000 people.

They are willing to change.

Of course, King always is the best or arguably no person about that.

But the people who think they would have no option, that they would come with the conditions under which they lived.

It was all into the plan.

The March on Washington led to the microphone, frankly.

The 64 civil rights bill nationally led to the 66 civil rights bill in Kentucky.

So civil rights was all interwoven into plan.

The Kentucky Commission on Human Rights was established in 1960, and people were all proud of it, that they had a state human rights Commission, one of the first in the South marches in 64 that laid the foundation for the passage of legislation in 60.

But that gave the commission the same authority as a court of law to investigate complaints of discrimination.

All of that would never have been in place and had not been for that march in 1964.

The civil rights movement never ended.

It continues today.

So when we talk about what we're dealing with in Frankfurt is real.

And I believe that what we're seeing now is, is those individuals in Frankfurt are trying to make us disillusioned on not only what our history has shown us and told us that what many of these folks have lived through, but they're trying to make us feel disillusioned for the people who did not live there, but have heard those stories from our mothers and our grandparents.

Tomorrow, marchers, marchers will reenact the 1964 March on Frankfort at the Capital City Museum.

Participants will march to the capital for a program at noon on the Capitol steps.

Kentucky Edition will be there for that march.
