GK PHOTO ALBUM, NONVIOLENT ACTION AGAINST WAR

On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of Polaris Action / New England Committee for Nonviolent Action, I have compiled a quick photo-scan album of myself and others participating in those and similar nonviolent demonstrations against war, 1961-1964.

Set 10) Struggle in Albany, Georgia, for an integrated peace walk, 1964 Jan-Feb

In January-February 1964 I joined the second wave of hunger strikers in the Albany City jail, when the Quebec-Washington-Guantanamo Peace Walk was initially barred from going through the middle of town if integrated.
