description	Montgomery police officers are standing in front of them. Several people are holding Confederate flags, and one has a sign that reads, "Save Our Flag." The flag removal demonstration was organized by Thomas Reed, a member of the Alabama House of Representatives and president of the state chapter of the NAACP. He had asked Governor Guy Hunt to remove the flag by noon on February 2, 1988, which was the first day of the new legislative session. When the governor did not comply, Reed, joined by fellow Black legislators and civil rights activists, marched to the Capitol. Reed and thirteen of the participating legislators were arrested for trying to climb the fence, which had been erected around the building for a restoration project.
