Two African American men in a segregated line at a counter, possibly at a jail in Birmingham, Alabama.
A sign above the barred window at the counter reads, "Warden on Duty." The man at the front of the line might be Fred Shuttlesworth, who was arrested on October 21, 1958, for inciting others to challenge a Birmingham Transit Authority segregated seating law.
