Title
Pearlene Sullivan Picketing for Fair Housing in Ann Arbor
Description
Pearlene Sullivan, an Ann Arbor resident and clerk-typist at the Municipal Court, participating in her fourth fair housing march. When asked why she marched, she told reporters, "This is the best way I can think of to get councilmen to change their minds. They're very stubborn -- especially the mayor. Picketing is the only way to make the council realize that Ann Arbor needs equal rights" (Stentzel, 1963).
