Danville Civil Rights Rally
(WDBJ Television, Roanoke, VA)

Reverend Lawrence Campbell led a group of black residents in a spirited session of freedom songs. At the conclusion of the singing, two black women walked to a microphone and shared with the crowd a story of Danville police brutality they had personally experienced and witnessed firsthand. A third women, obviously very shaken and concerned, informed the crowd that her father and mother had been arrested.
