Hailing from New York at the time of the 1963 Washington gathering, Joye was tasked with marshaling attendance from the Lower East Side. “We had 20 busloads of people lined up, when we were red-baited in a speech by [U.S. Sen. Kenneth] Keating and the bus service canceled on us. So we rented a train,” he recalled, chuckling. He says it’s not true that he was in charge of the port-a-potties, as his granddaughter jokingly claims. Joye was on the National Mall for everything from Bob Dylan and Joan Baez’s pre-rally sound-checks to Dr. Martin Luther King Junior’s “I Have a Dream” call to action. Interestingly, said Joye, “The speech didn’t impress us that much at the time.” Jobs such as a stint with the radical Students for a Democratic Society DID make a substantial impression across his native Dixie. Joye found his name appearing frequently in the papers — including the hometown journal he’d thrown onto front porches as a kid. As a result, he said, “I had a sister who didn’t speak to me for several years.” Labor organizing took center stage in later years; the civil rights veteran worked for more than 30 years with the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees and the Atlanta Labor Council, going to bat for such groups as workers constructing the 1996 Olympics venues. Retired the last couple of years, Joye continues to hold forth on the Sunday night airwaves and waxes hopeful about what he thinks is a resurgence of progressivism. Joye thinks such trends as increasing income inequality and the near-monopolization of some business sectors are forcing action, as is the growing realization of climate change. He hopes millennials will hoist the banner and carry it forward, much as he’s done for decades. “There’s more acceptance of the concept of socialism than there’s been in the last 50 years,” he said.
