July 13, 1964 | Pickets at Republican National Convention

July 13, 1964 - More than 200 pickets representing two civil rights groups demonstrated outside the main entrance of the Cow Palace today in San Francisco, centering their fire on Senator Barry Goldwater.
Throughout the day and into the evening, the orderly procession marched in an elongated circle within a roped off area chanting “Goldwater must go; freedom now.”
A band of some 25 supporters of the Arizona Senator answered in kind, waving Goldwater placards aloft.
Earlier in the day, two Goldwater supporters joined the march of 65 civil righters but were quickly ejected by police.
The only untoward incident of the day followed when a lone Goldwater demonstrator tusseled briefly with two unsympathetic onlookers. All three were ejected from the Cow Palace grounds.
