This photo was taken in the Hamilton Hall lobby the evening of April 23, 1968. I'm in there somewhere. At that point Hamilton was the only occupied building. Black and white leaders were meeting in a room upstairs about how to proceed. Seems to show voting, but I don't remember voting on anything. Under the clock in the background is Dean Coleman's office; he's locked inside. I remember seeing Black Panthers guarding the door at one point. Photo: Don Hogan Charles/The New York Times/Redux.
