Duke University vigil, 1968

The Duke students participate in a silent demonstration after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. During the vigil, which lasted from April 5 to April 11, 1968, "up to 1,400 students slept on the Chapel Quad, food services and housekeeping employees went on strike, and most students boycotted the dining halls in support of the employees," according to the Duke University Archives.
