Biographical Sketch: |
"After the March 7, 1965, beating of civil rights marchers [in Selma, Alabama], protests broke out across the United States. In Los Angeles, demonstrators gathered to demand federal intervention to protect the marchers in Alabama. Over the next few days, more than 100 protesters were arrested. The March 11, 1965, Los Angeles Times reported that "U.S. marshals arrested 98 defiant civil rights demonstrators Wednesday after two human barricades vitally sealed off the Federal Building most of the afternoon."" https://www.latimes.com/visuals/photography/la-me-fw-archives-protests-in-los-ageles-after-beating-of-selma-marchers-20190226-htmlstory.html |
