Description: Two CORE demonstrators are dragged away from the Federal Building on March 9, 1965. About 20 sit-ins were dragged from the lobby by the hands and feet as they sang, "We shall not be moved." Ejected by deputy United States marshals, some of the demonstrators smeared doors and windows with sandwiches. The marshals also cleared the sixth floor of the building.
