Image
Glenn Turner is holding the United Nations flag, and his wife is carrying the flag of the state of Wisconsin. A supporter is holding the American flag. One man is kneeling on the road and holding a young child on his arm while holding onto two signs. One reads: "Get the U.N. Out of [obscured] Get the U.S. Out of [obscured]", and the other reads: "THE UNITED NATIONS: Is a brain child of Alger Hiss it's hidden purpose it to ... DESTROY AMERICA!" A woman kneeling in front of the group is holding a banner depicting a spider in a web with the words: "Won't you come into my parlor?" The group had encountered a roadblock and protesters are opposing the United Nations. A person obscured by the American flag is holding a camera and standing just behind the group.
