- Description:
- Most protesters carry printed signs that reads, "City employees. AFSCME AFL-CIO Local 1644 on strike for justice-dignity." In this photo, there are a number of hand-lettered signs, one reads "Sisters unite; begin to fight!" another reads "Massell -- we put you in -- and we'll take you out!!" and another reads "City of Atlanta on strike. Instead of money he sent bags. Try eating one." ("Massell" is Atlanta Mayor Sam Massell; and "bags" probably refers to garbage bags.) A woman in the crowd is holding a copy of the Great Speckled Bird.
