Young girl participating in a march led by the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in Gadsden, Alabama.

She is holding a sign that reads, "We Want Justice." The United Klans of America held a march in Gadsden the same day. The demonstrations were organized in response to the recent killing of Collis Madden, an African American man who was shot 15 times by police after a high-speed chase.
