- Description:
- The hearings were conducted by Senators Robert F. Kennedy, Joseph S. Clark, George Murphy, and Jacob Javits; the men are seated at the long table in the background, but the image is extremely bright so they are not clearly visible. This image was taken for (but not used in) an article ("Senators Told of Poverty" by Patricia James) and photo spread ("U.S. Senators Meet the People") that appeared on pages 1 and 3 of The Southern Courier for April 15-16, 1967. The issue is available online (not on the ADAH website): http://www.southerncourier.org/low-res/Vol3_No16_1967_04_15.pdf
