Pro Arab Demonstration

Demonstrators march past the Finnair office at 51st Street in New York City, New York, escorted by several policemen. Chanting with raised fists, the demonstrators proceed down 5th Avenue on June 5th, 1971, the 4th anniversary of the Six-Day War. Organized by Arab Student, pro-Palestinian, and anti-war groups, protestors carry a banner that reads “Arab Land, Arab Oil For The Arab People Comm. To Support Middle East Liberation”, a Palestinian Flag, additional banners that read “U.S. 6th Fleet Out Of The Middle East American Servicemen’s Union”, “Gaza Strip ~ Warsaw Ghetto In the Mid East Comm. To Support Mid-East Liberation”, and “Victory To The Arab People Women of Youth Against War And Fascism”. (Photo by Bob Parent/Getty Images)
