- Description:
- The men are wearing suits, but they are probably law enforcement officers, halting the march that was supposed to take place. One of the men is holding a tape recorder. Several marches and demonstrations took place in Montgomery in June 1967. They were discussed in an article ("Marches Held in Capital") on pages 1 and 6 of The Southern Courier for June 17-18, 1967, and in an article ("Goals No Closer for Marchers in Capital") and a photo spread ("Montgomery Marches") on pages 1 and 3 of The Southern Courier for June 24-25, 1967.
