Photo by Earl Seubert taken in Minneapolis on July 1, 1981—the same day that 9,000 Minnesotans lost their eligibility for General Assistance (GA). A similar version of the image was published without an accompanying article in the Minneapolis Tribune on July 2, 1981, 6B. Original caption: “Indians Hold ‘Housing Reality Day’ rally: About seventy-five Indians marched from the Little Earth of United Tribes housing project, 25th St. and Cedar Av. S., to the Hennepin County Government Center Wednesday to protest housing conditions in Minneapolis. The protesters claimed there was a lack of affordable housing in the city and called on city officials to support rent control, a moratorium on condominium conversion, an end to discrimination in renting to families with children and funding for independent tenants’ organizations.” From box 474 of the Minneapolis and St. Paul newspaper negatives collection, Minnesota Historical Society, St. Paul.

Photograph identified as Phil Rice but likely of Houston Osborne, taken c.1895. Phil Rice and Houston Osborne were both clients of Fredrick McGhee; however, Phil Rice was white, so he is unlikely to be the man in this photograph. A photograph identified as Osborne from the same collection resembles a courtroom sketch of Rice, so it is possible the attributions were switched.
