Series #001. Denver Smith and Leonard Brown Collection 1972. 1972
| |
The fatal shooting of two Students-Denver Smith and Leonard Brown — on the morning of November 16, 1972, marked the tragic end to four weeks of deepening student dissent on the Baton Rouge campus of Southern University. It was during that morning's clash between students and law enforcement personnel that reason gave way to rage and law and order was overcome by its own capability for violence.
