An African-American man in the center of the crowd kneels down as he gives a speech. A crowd is seen gathered around him. Members of a local union, Officers of the Public Works and Unemployed League, had planned a parade in protest of dole (government aid) reductions announced by the Los Angeles City Relief Administration but their permit was denied by City Council. In lieu of the parade, they held a rally at the Los Angeles Plaza where several speakers took the stand. This photograph may be related to the article, “Dole Group May Parade,” Los Angeles Times, 24 Jan 1936: A1. Text from negative sleeve: 4372 – Speakers at Plaza
