Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This paper analyzes the interaction between social movements and public policy outcomes. I begin by assessing existing social movement literature, identifying key theoretical transitions which led to the current understanding of the relationship between public policy and social movements. Using theories derived from this literature, I examine a subset of the civil rights movement, the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom of 1963, to determine if it had any impact on the creation and adoption of the seminal Civil Rights Act of 1964. Specifically, I determine whether three central components of the March on Washington: 1) the electorate represented, 2) leadership and leading organizations and 3) March on Washington-government political alliances, influenced the legislatures and presidencies of 1963 and 1964 enough to “directly impact” the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. I conclude that although correlations between the March on Washington and the passage of the Civil Rights Act exist, the Civil Rights Act was affected by various unrelated factors which make a direct causal relationship difficult to prove. This suggests that social movements may have a substantive impact on the public policy process; however, more research must be done to elucidate this relationship.
