Pro-Willie McGee Demonstration A line of mostly protesters hold signs on the sidewalk on behalf of Willie McGee, a black Mississippi truck driver convicted of rape, as pedestrians walk past them, Los Angeles, California, 1951. Their placards ask President Truman to intervene in the case. Despite numerous alleged improprities in his case which led to his cause being championed by various Civil Rights groups, McGee was executed on May 8, 1951.
