Description
A brick church building is visible in the background. The day this photograph was taken, Stokely Carmichael addressed an outdoor meeting of the Autauga County Improvement Association; he was arrested after shouting "Black Power!" at a passing police car. The incident was discussed in the article "For the People of Prattville" by Sandra Colvin and Franklin Howard, which appeared on page 1 of The Southern Courier for June 17-18, 1967. The issue is available online (not on the ADAH website): http://www.southerncourier.org/low-res/Vol3_No25_1967_06_17.pdf
