Violence broke out at a disputed school site as civil rights pickets threw themselves into the path of a back-hoe digging dirt for a new school. Police hauled the pickets from the hole. Pickets in the background already have some dirt on them as the back-hoe dropped a partial load to discourage the picketing. Demonstrators say construction will "promote re-segregation" in the predominantly African-American neighborhood. Cleveland, Ohio, April 6, 1964 | musefully

The Cleveland Museum of Art, James Parmelee Fund 2021.177 This photograph honoring a group of protesters in Cleveland is a “telephoto.” That means that a photographic print was scanned, and the resulting signals were sent via telephone to a receiving unit that translated them back into pulses of light. Those pulses were used to produce a conventional photographic negative or positive print. News photographs were often transmitted via phone lines.
