Description
Photos show protestors' signs at the 1996 Racial Justice Day rally. One sign reads, "Meet New York's finest... KILLER." The other sign shows a person reaching out a hand with "PEOPLES' JUSTICE" written on the palm towards a cowering police officer. Above the illustration are the words "STOP KILLER COPS NOW!!!"
