The photo is a "mug shot" of a protester who has been arrested during an Oakland Tribune demonstration. Two police officers flank a male protester who has been arrested. They are standing in front of a wall with the words, "No Parking Day or Night" painted on it. There is also a partially visible sign which reads, "No Admittance Employees Only". One of the officers is holding a card in front of the protester. The card reads, "A 4". The demonstrator is wearing a white armband. He has his eyes closed. On the back of the photo the name "Philip Davis" has been written in blue ink. Two other words have been crossed out. Also, attached to the back of the photo is a sheet of paper with typed information about the demonstrator. This reads: "Philip Davis, info same as on report. San Francisco arrest no. 187 774. Participated in Mel's Drive-in 11/3/63. Arrested." 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.
