Students Lighting a Black Hanging in Effigy

(Original Caption) About thirty white students walked out of Little Rock Central High School, hoping to start a mass exodus of white students from the school which recently admitted nine Negro students under federal guard. The exodus did not materialize and the walkers let off steam by hanging a Negro in effigy. Photo shows one of the students holding the effigy while another puts a match to the stuffed legs to set it afire.
