The photo shows police officers arresting and removing demonstrators who participated in a sit-in organized by the Ad Hoc Committee to End Discrimination. The demonstrators blocked the entry/exit of Oakland Tribune delivery trucks at the Oakland Tribune loading dock. Six policemen are gathered around the back of a paddy wagon as they put a demonstrator inside. Only the demonstrator's legs are visible as he sits on the edge of the back of the paddy wagon. Two other demonstrators, an African American male and a white male, are standing with police escorts as they wait to be put into the paddy wagon. The white male is flashing the "peace sign". The photo is slightly out of focus. 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 December 15, 1964.
