General Note
Accompanying note: "This photograph, showing Negroes blocking the entrance and standing inside the private loggia of the State theater during a demonstration Wednesday was a pertinent part of the evidence which Circuit Judge Ben C. Willis considered before enjoining the Negroes from demonstrating in such a manner as to interfere with theater operations. The woman in the black dress, exhorting the crowd, is Patricia Stephens Due, who shortly before had spurned a restraining order and summons to appear as leader of the group for a hearing on the proposed injunction."
