Photograph caption dated June 21, 1987 reads, "Demonstrators march in front of the downtown Federal Building in L.A. to protest what they say is a slow response by the government in research and testing for AIDS. The march was held in coordination with others around the country, said Jim Cortin, a spokesman for Justice in AIDS Medicine, which sponsored yesterday's protest by about two dozen people. They accused the president of "criminal neglect" for not speaking out sooner about the epidemic."
