Title supplied by cataloger. Over 500 people demonstrated in front of Federal Building in downtown to protest the beginning of closed hearings held by a subcommittee of House Committee on Un-American Activities. The picket signs, such as "The Committee is Un-American," "HUAC equals tyranny, " and "Democracy Si HUAC- No" clearly reject the existence of HUAC. The students in a truck bed (center) who are supporting the HUAC hearings are from COUP (Committee Opposing Uninformed Pickets), are members of a group from UCLA. Photograph dated April 28, 1962.
