Digital scan of a 35mm color slide of a photograph taken during the unrest of 1967. A convoy of United States Army's 82nd Airborne division's trucks and jeeps heading south along Conner Street below Gratiot Avenue passes the camera. The soldier in the front passenger seat of the nearest truck smiles and gestures to the camera with both hands raised. Signs for Padnessa Cleaners and Dyers, Heyn Drugs, gas station, and motel are along the street in the background.
