11. My first demonstration was at States Lines in SF
if memory serves me it was in 1968 , I think, a young man named Gayle Whittington was being mistreated by management (I forget the real issue, it might have been a dismissal) There was another at the INS blgd on Sansome sT.where I'm sure my pic was taken. BTW, you are a young gay to me. I remember marching outside the Women's House of Detention on Greewich Ave with Allen Ginsburg in the early 60's , but that was for marijuana.
