TRAGEDY IN BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA

On Sunday, September 15th, 1963, four young African American girls were killed when a bomb exploded at the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama. Three days later, 2,500 people solemnly marched along Post Street in San Francisco to protest this tragedy. (News-Call Bulletin, September 18, 1963). Rabbi Alvin Fine, Chairman William Chester of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU), United States attorney Cecil Poole, and Leonard Farmer spoke to the crowd filling the streets in front of the Post Office building.

Protesters are dragged from the offices of U.S. Attorney Cecil Poole. Below, Poole addresses the protectors.

MARTIN LUTHER KING, CIVIL RIGHTS BILL AND PROPOSITION 14 IN CALIFORNIA

Martin Luther King visited the Bay Area in May of 1964 for a rally to raise awareness and support of the passing of the civil rights bill in the U.S. Senate and to speak out against the attempt to repeal the Rumford Fair Housing Act in California, which was a law passed in 1963 to help end racial discrimination by property owners and landlords who refused to rent or sell their property to non-white customers. Reverend King stated that the repealing the Rumford Fair Housing Act would be a major set-back for California, for democracy, and for "what we are trying to do in the South." (News-Call Bulletin, May 29, 1964).

In 1964, the California Real Estate Association sponsored an initiative, Proposition 14, which would amend the constitution of California. This amendment gave landlords and property owners absolute discretion to choose who to sell, lease or rent to. The measure passed and soon after, the federal government cut off all housing funding to California in response. (News-Call Bulletin, November 5, 1964). In 1967, the California Supreme Court held that the proposition was unconstitutional because it violated the equal protection and due process provisions of the California Constitution. (Reitman v. Mulkey 64 Cal. 2d 529 (1966).

Bill Bradley, chairman of the San Francisco chapter of CORE, was among those arrested in the Sheraton-Palace pickets. He was held in contempt of court for failing to appear and ordered to pay a fine of $500 or serve five days in prison. He stated he could not pay the fine. (News-Call Bulletin, June 1, 1964).

Bank of America

In May of 1964, CORE and the NAACP organized a picket of Bank of America to protest its discriminatory hiring practices. The picketing campaign included "bank-ins" in which demonstrators held up lines by window hopping from teller to teller and asking them to make change. "Several demonstrators asked for rolls of pennies and them insisted on breaking them open at the tellers window and counting them while customers fumed in lines behind them." (News-Call Bulletin, June 2, 1964). Bank of American entered into an agreement with the State Fair Employment Practice Commission to implement equal employment opportunity policies and hire more minorities. (News-Call, June 4, 1964)

in this picture, it says, basically equality for gays. No matter who you like, were all still human. They way you choose to love, shouldn't effect the way people see you, especially because it doesn't effect anyone personally.

in this picture, it is women marching for a change of equality. Women are more than taking care of the children, cooking and cleaning. They march for a chance to show the world that they are stronger than the word "woman"

in this picture, i see women holding hands, probably in front of a crowd. Women have been fighting to be equal to men, because we get treated like were less than a man, when in actuality, we can do all the things men can do.
