Did you know that UAW was one of the first unions to support The Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s and 1960s?

The UAW President, Walter Reuther, was a close ally of Martin Luther King Jr. and helped organize the March in Washington in 1963, where King delivered his famous "I Have a Dream" speech. Reuther also spoke at the march and donated $50,000 to the cause. The UAW also supported the Montgomery Bus Boycott, the Freedom Rides, and the Selma to Montgomery March.
