Image
Demonstrators at a PUSH (People United to Serve Humanity) March walking around the White House to commemorate the 46th anniversary of the birth of Martin Luther King Jr. In the center, (left to right), are an unknown man, the Reverend Jesse Jackson, unknown woman, Delegate Walter E. Fauntroy and Representative Bella Abzug. The march also supported the proposed Humphrey-Hawkins Full Employment Bill. An estimated 2000 people participated, carrying signs. Some of the signs that people are carrying read: "Silver Rights Now, Jobs for All, Support Hawkins-Humphrey Bill," Give Our Silver Rights Now, House the Poor, Feed the Hungry," and "Inflation, Recession, Unemployment, Under-Employment and Institutionalized Poverty, Is There a Doctor in the House?" A man standing in the foreground on the right is holding a camera.
