More than 250,000 people gathered in Washington, DC on August 28, 1963 for a political rally known as the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. Organized by a group of civil rights and religious organizations, it was designed to illuminate the political and social challenges confronting African Americans.
One of those 250,000 people was actor Paul Newman. In addition to being an accomplished actor, and sex icon, Newman was also an activist with a passion for civil rights and global warming. Long before most in Hollywood were as vocal, Newman was ahead of his time championing causes he was passionate about. I'm not sure if it's the activism, but I don't think Newman ever looked hotter than he does in this set of shots.
