Description

This photograph shows students protesting segregation at the Georgia state capitol building in Atlanta, Georgia on February 1, 1962. Two African American women march on a street holding signs reading, "The presence of segregation is the absence of democracy. Jim Crow must go!" Several white men stand in the background on a sidewalk. The passage of the federal Civil Rights Act in 1964 and the Voting Rights Act in 1965 ended legal segregation across the nation.
