Fox & Friends Saturday taking history lessons from Beck

On Fox & Friends Saturday, while discussing today's One Nation Working Together rally in Washington D.C., co-host Clayton Morris said:

MORRIS: It's interesting from a historical perspective, you mentioned jobs and the economy on this, this is the first time we're hearing these liberal groups have a march on Washington with a sitting Democratic president focused on this, because this group has marched in 1940, 1963, 1983, 1989, 1993, 2003, all typically around civil rights and discrimination. So this is the first time we're seeing this about Jobs and the economy with a sitting Democratic president.

That 1963 rally Morris referenced? Its full name was the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. It was conceived by a celebrated union leader as a march for “Negro job rights,” was designed to push back against the “twin evils of racism and economic deprivation,” and its participants demanded not only civil rights legislation, but a “national minimum wage” and a “massive” federal job training and placement program.

The president at the time of the rally? Democrat John F. Kennedy.

Morris' comments are in line with Glenn Beck's inaccurate portrayal of the civil rights marches of the 1960s as a movement solely for equal civil rights that did not seek to promote social justice or economic rights. That's really not the person from whom you would want to be getting history lessons.
