A sign on the ground in front of him reads, "Don't Run for the Hills / Vote For Fields / For President of SGA / Man That Will Get On The Case And Stay In The Race." The rally was held to protest state and national racism; the incarcerations of Caliph Washington and Raymond Holloway; and the recent killings of African Americans in Jackson, Mississippi, and Augusta, Georgia. Most of the people who attended were students at local colleges and universities. The event was described in the article "Park rally held as memorial for 2 prisoners," which appeared in the Birmingham News on May 23, 1970. |
