Thirteen arrested, 11 injured
©Scott Sines — Klan rally, Austin, 1983. Once upon a time, an awful, awful time, we had to shoot color slide film in one camera and black and white film in another. The color was supposed to be for page 1A. Well I’d been waiting and waiting for these smug Klansmen to get in some decent light but they just stood out there in the bright sun that cast deep shadows on their faces. Finally I couldn’t wait any longer so I lowered a camera to about knee-high and pasted them right in the face with a flash. When things got a little touchy later on I went to black and white. Thirteen people were arrested and 11 people — including four officers, six anti-Klan protesters and one reporter — were injured during the Klan’s march to the state Capitol.
