Photo shows political protest by members of the Ad Hoc Committee. Five demonstrators, three white males, one African American male, and one white female, are picketing in front of the Oakland Tribune building. The female protester is wearing two political buttons, including one which reads, "Ad Hoc Committee." Behind the protesters, there are two signs in the window of the Oakland Tribune building which read: "All New Sunday Tribune." Photographer has identified each person in photo with a numbered sticker (#9,#26,#14,#25,#23), but I did not find master key with names for each number. In 1964 the Ad Hoc Committee to End Discrimination organized a number of demonstrations to protest racial discrimination in hiring practices, including protests against Sheraton-Palace, Auto Row, Mel's Drive-in, and the Oakland Tribune. The Ad Hoc Committee picketed The Tribune building after William F. Knowland, editor and general manager of The Tribune, rejected hiring demands of the Ad Hoc Committee. The Ad Hoc Committee charged that the percentage of minority racial group employment was inadequate, and demanded that minority racial group employment on The Tribune be increased to between 15 and 20 percent of the total employment by Decmeber 15, 1964.
