| Fred Lonidier collection:
Arrested after leading a sit-in at
Franklin High School, Aaron Dixon, Larry Gossett and Carl Miller stood
trial on misdemeanor charges of unlawful assembly in June, 1968. Judge
James Dore's harsh sentence (six months incarceration) was later
overturned on appeal. Photographer Fred Lonidier attended the trial as a
supporter from Draft Resistance Seattle and shot dozens of photographs
inside and outside the courtroom. These never-before-seen images are
courtesy of Fred Lonidier,
Professor of Visual Arts at the University of California, San Diego. |
