Answer:
The march had critics on the radical side of the civil rights movement. Malcolm X called it the 'Farce on Washington. ' Stokely Carmichael of SNCC said it was "only a sanitized, middle-class version of the real black movement." The Black Muslims and other separatist groups were not asked to take part in the march.
The march was not universally supported among civil rights activists. Some, including Rustin (who assembled 4,000 volunteer marshals from New York), were concerned that it might turn violent, which could undermine pending legislation and damage the international image of the movement.
The purpose of the march was to advocate for the civil and economic rights of African Americans. ... The march is credited with helping to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and preceded the Selma Voting Rights Movement which led to the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
