Black and white press print of police breaking up a group of African American protestors during the middle of a sit-in. Includes caption "SW 1 EAST ST. LOUIS, ILL., AUG. 15--POLICE DRAG AWAY DEMONSTRATORS** East St. Louis police carry out some of the 170 racial demonstrators who covered the floor of the First National Bank today. The protest, which started quietly, got out of hand and local police called for help from Illinois State Police and the St. Clair County Sheriff's Office. The demonstrators were booked for assembling unlawfully in a mob form. It was a continuation of protests which began several weeks ago at some local banks, which the demonstrators claim are racially biased in hiring. (SEE WIRE STORY) (AP WIREPHOTO) (tp51555P-D) 1963"

This black and white photograph shows the hardwood dance floor of a nightclub from above. In the foreground of the image is a clear dance floor, and in the middle ground a woman dances. She is draped with a white shawl that billows around her arms, and both of her legs are bent as she steps to her proper right. To the right of her, four people sit at a table watching. Behind her a band plays from a bandstand located beneath a partially visible balcony.
