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, 1964
