Ralph Abernathy and Robert E. DuBose (in white robe) leading a civil rights protest march from Dexter Avenue Baptist Church toward the Capitol in Montgomery, Alabama.
The demonstration was planned to show support for the Alabama State College students involved in lunch counter sit-ins. A crowd of 4,000 white protestors gathered to prevent the march, which ended in violence and retreat.
