Description

The men's backs are to the camera, so it is unclear who is actually in the shot. This image was probably taken for (but not used in) the article "Dr. King Sweeps Through the Black Belt, " which appeared on page 1 of The Southern Courier for December 11-12, 1965. The issue is available online (not on the ADAH website): http://www.southerncourier.org/low-res/Vol1_No22_1965_12_11.pdf
