May Day, 1970: Yale on Strike, 1970 May 1
- Extent:
- 12 prints (1 box)
- Scope and content:
-
Alex Harris's earliest work in the collection consists of 12 black-and-white 16x20 inch digital prints of student demonstrations at Yale University. The demonstrations came in response to the arrest of Black Panther Party leader, Bobby Seale, who was accused of ordering the murder of a supposed police informant in New Haven. The series documents the demonstrations from a variety of angles and includes images of National Guard soldiers, students, and university officials. These images remained unprinted for almost 37 years until they were published as part of a Duke University exhibition of Harris's early work. Titles assigned by photographer.
