Photograph article dated May 23, 1962 partially reads, "Joseph Young of Calabasas has a date Monday with former Los Angeles Mayor Norris Poulson. But it's not going to be a social call. They'll meet in court. Young, a determined, self-styled public defender, claims his constitutional rights were violated in the city's contract over Chávez Ravine and he's upset... He has taken his case, either in person or through the mails, to the Los Angeles City Council, Los Angeles grand jury, Federal Bureau of Investigation, state executive officers and president John F. Kennedy. Young thumbed through a hefty law volume as he sat in his living room and told the reasons for his $200 suit in smaller claims court and his long struggles against the contract."
