Thousands protest Anita Bryant in New Orleans rain
About 2,500 people paraded six blocks through the rain drenched French Quarter and Jackson Square to protest singer Anita Bryant as she prepared to end a two night New Orleans Symphony engagement. The crowd sang We Shall Overcome and carried signs comparing Bryant to Nazi Germany and McCarthy. Leonard Matlovich, a gay rights activist, spoke as the marchers blocked traffic and police watched. Smaller counter demonstrations occurred as Bryant’s supporters gathered for her Friday performance.
