Cover story: March Forth '68

It was a typical early March day in Pennsylvania, but what happened in Harrisburg on that day 50 years ago was anything but ordinary.

“I consider March 4, 1968, the most important day in PSEA history," said Marylou Stefanko, an elementary teacher in the North Hills School District, Allegheny County, and a PSEA board member. 

Stefanko was among 20,000 teachers from throughout Pennsylvania who flocked to the steps of the state Capitol on that March day 50 years ago to stage one of the most iconic and influential rallies in Pennsylvania history.

In this issue

"So, on March 4, 1968, a principal named Joseph Standa, then the president of PSEA, inspired a throng of educators 20,000 strong to rally on the state Capitol steps.

That was 50 years ago, and this issue of Voice celebrates the brave women and men who took a big chance to participate in the March on Harrisburg."
