EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken in San Francisco on December 7,1968, a courageous San Francisco State coed proudly displays her eye patch which boldly reads, "I was protected by the police". During a week of intense student turmoil and protests, law enforcement authorities were called upon to maintain peace. This historic image captures the resilience and humor of the young woman as she showcases her unique accessory. The monochromatic backdrop accentuates the seriousness of the situation while adding a touch of nostalgia to this vintage photograph. The coed's smiling face exudes strength despite being injured or sick, reminding us that even in times of unrest there is room for optimism. Surrounded by fellow college students and demonstrators in the background, this snapshot serves as a poignant reminder of an era marked by social change and activism. The eye patch becomes more than just a medical necessity; it transforms into a symbol representing both protection from harm and defiance against adversity. Through Underwood Archives' lens, we are transported back to an important moment in American history when individuals fought for their rights with unwavering determination. This print encapsulates not only the spirit of resistance but also highlights how humor can be employed as an empowering tool during challenging times. This remarkable image stands as testament to our shared past and reminds us that progress often emerges from moments filled with tension and conflict.
