A free-for-all as officers broke up an attempt to picket the Capitol grounds in Washington on Nov. 7, 1932, by a group demanding freedom for the seven African Americans sentenced to death in Scottsboro, Ala., whose case was before the U.S. Supreme Court. Police and plainclothesmen charged the group with swinging nightsticks when they refused to disperse. One policeman was badly beaten and several arrests were made. (AP Photo)
