Title
4 Mile March Protest - Protester With Sign "Mayor Opposes Fair Housing"
Description
This photo for the Ann Arbor News portrays a demonstration along Summit St in the Northeast Central area of the city (4 Mile March Protest - Protester With Sign “Mayor Opposes Fair Housing,” n.d.). The action was organized to protest the support by city government - specifically Mayor Cecil O. Creal - for a weakened fair housing ordinance. The community members in this photo carry picket signs pointing out the government’s hypocrisy in investing in a plan, but only one that would be unactionable.
