Mundelein College students gather in the Phoenix Room of Mundelein College. To the right of the photo, two students hold up a signboard with the words "Equal Rights". Discrimination Day was organized by the Mundelein Student Advisory Council in a bid to raise awareness of the civil rights problem, although reactions to it were mixed.
The image appears with the caption: "DEMONSTRATION OF THE FINE ART OF DEMONSTRATING. Sit-downers, protesting Phoenix Room discrimination against "minors" enjoy hootenanny atmosphere by D-Day "non-violent direct action." The headline of the associated article reads: "D Day Roll Call Reveals Students Agree to Disagree on Racial Issue."
