Description
This is an emblematic photograph of the protest of the killing of Irene De Soto and Tracy Levi. In the foreground left a man with a sign "Fight Back", while Monique (left, dark hair) and Missy (right, blonde hair), walking and talking center. This is taken by Pat Gorley near 20th and Broadway where Tracy Levi was killed at the hands of a Denver Police officer in 1977. The Yellow Banner in the background says "Fight Back Smash Gay Oppression Workers World Party" likely created by the Denver Socialists according to Pat Gourley who took the photographs. Behind the protesters is the first Triangle Bar, the Federal Building and 19th and Broadway intersection of left in the photograph.
