The Civil Rights Movement was one of Herblocks chief concerns. He illustrated the history and dialogue of this turbulent era in American society. The Long March is one of five exhibits that display the work of legendary Washington Post editorial cartoonist Herbert L. Block, famously known as Herblock. Produced by The Herb Block Foundation, the goal of these exhibitions is to present Herblocks effort to preserve Americans rights and freedoms through his political cartoons.
