On the day that Eugene McCarthy’s bid for the 1968 Democratic presidential nomination at the convention was unsuccessful, students march from the McCarthy campaign headquarters on Woodland Avenue to Euclid Avenue to the University of Kentucky Student Center in a “funeral” procession to mourn the passing of democracy and the Democratic party. Marchers carry a coffin and wear black arm bands and upside-down McCarthy buttons. The Reverend Gary Pritchard leads the march and gives a sermon. Photo is in the 1969 Kentuckian on page 24.
