- Description:
- An unidentified man is shown sleeping on a park bench. Photo is featured on page 61 of the June-July 1981 SCLC Magazine: http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12322/auc.199:07018. Written on verso: What will the "mean" and "insensitive" economic policies adopted by Congress last May mean to those who are already struggling to survive? How will this Washington, D.C. man and others like him make it through these hard times? These are the concerns of SCLC, a pro-movement, pro-justice advocate of the poor, says SCLC President Joseph E. Lowery, who led busloads of SCLC members to the nation's capitol May 7th to protest the budget cuts and "Reaganomics".
