Folder: S.F. Protests and Picketing-1964-Sheraton Palace Hotel.
Newscopy: "TALKS BREAK DOWN AFTER HIGH HOPES--Hopes for peace in the racial dispute at the Sheraton-Palace Hotel soared shortly after midnight today, but were shattered quickly. [...] would have to take it to their board of directors. Talks between the hotel operators and the Ad Hoc Committee to End Discrimination began last Dec. 13 and got nowhere. Somewhere in this tangle of arms and legs is a picket being carried out."
Written on back of second copy: "San Francisco, Mar. 7-A LOSING STRUGGLE-Police drag two pickets from the lobby of San Francisco's Sheraton-Palace Hotel early this morning in what Chief of Police Thomas Cahill described as 'non-violent arrests.' Earlier an estimated 800 to 1000 marched around the hotel claiming the management was discriminatory in its hiring policy. Later a group of several hundred filled the lobby and when they refused to leave in defiance of a court order, the police moved in. APWirephoto 1964. (FX3)."
