As Dr. Carlton Goodlett speaks to crowds from the Speakers Platform, black community leaders stand behind him with arms locked in sign of unity. Pictured (left to right): Richard A. Bancroft, San Francisco attorney and member of the BART Board of Directors, Sylvester Brown, aged 29, a leader from Young Men for Action, a Hunter’s Point youth group, who a week earlier led a cleanup effort in Hunters Point before a community festival, Cecil Williams, pastor at Glide Memorial Church, and Donald McCullum, Oakland attorney. Brown was charged with assaulting a police officer, failing to disburse, resisting arrest, and violation of Mulford Act. San Francisco’s first African American supervisor Terry A. Francois and a leader in the Urban League Thomas Gwynn also participated in the march.
