A group of people, including University at Buffalo students, participate in a street protest in downtown Buffalo, New York. One person in the foreground holds a flyer above their head featuring a photo of Eldridge Cleaver and the text “Eldridge Cleaver at U.B.” Another person nearby also holds a copy of the same flyer. Various handwritten protest signs are visible, including one reading “POLITICIANS LIE — G.I.’s DIE!!
