- Description:
- Photographic print; assignment sheet attached to print verso gives photographer ([Louie] Favorite) and caption information: "Yvonne Shevnin (L) and Elna Moberg putting up tent in Reagan Ranch." In June of 1982, ACORN sponsored "Reagan Ranches" in over 35 cities believing the president's focus to be on military as opposed to social spending. "Reagan Ranches" were tent cities erected nationally for two days. They met with serious resistance from the National Parks Service, that tried repeatedly to evict ACORN tenters. The protesters remained and then marched on the White House and testified before a Congressional committee about what they described as the housing crisis in America. The Republican Convention in Dallas, Texas in 1984, was the culminating "Reagan Ranch."
