- Rev. Jesse Jackson, center in black shirt with button, walks with John R. Harper II, to the right of Jackson, and James L. Felder, to the right of Harper, along with around 1,000 people during a march in Edgefield County in support of extending certain provisions of the 1965 Voting Rights Act that are set to expire in 1982.
