Union baseball team in civil rights march. Activism was part of Local 65's way of life, as it was for many unions--a "culture of solidarity" centered around the union hall but always looking outward. Here "65ers" in their United Warehouse and Wholesale Workers Union baseball uniforms march to admit Negroes to big league baseball.
