Here is an image of young folk singers Bob Dylan and Joan Baez performing together during the March on Washington civil rights rally on August 28, 1964. Both Dylan and Baez went on to become icons for the civil rights movement and the ’60s generation. Most of Dylan’s most celebrated work comes from the 1960s. He was even named “voice of a generation” during this time as his songs became anthems for the Civil Rights and Anti-war movement. Both had incredibly successful music careers throughout the decades and are still alive today.
