A newspaper photograph of Ohio State University faculty members marching to protest The Speaker's Rule, which gave the university president the ability to regulate public speakers on campus. It was taken from the May 13, 1965 issue of the Columbus Dispatch and has a caption that reads "Faculty members march at O.S.U." The article was cut out of the newspaper and inscribed "thinking of you" before being sent anonymously to the artist. Given the political climate of the time, it caused the artist much paranoia, but as a result of the protests the rule was overturned at the start of the following school year.
