Title supplied by cataloger. A large crowd of Communist Party of America members have gathered to participate in a Hunger March, starting at Washington and Figueroa and heading for the Plaza. The march, organized by the United Front Conference Against Hunger, was designed to make a statement against the fate of the unemployed and poor. One sign reads, "Join R.W.P.U. says We" and another reads "Join the Pioneers". According to newspaper sources from the time period, the city leaders were concerned about violence and too much agitation occurring during the demonstration. Photo dated: October 2, 1933.
