Loudspeakers are attached to the roof of the truck, and streamers run down the windshield. A sign in the background reads, "Let's Go American / We've Gone African Too Long / Save Our Land / Join the Klan." This image was taken for (but not used in) an article and photo spread that appeared on pages 1 and 3 of The Southern Courier for December 16-17, 1967.
