Inscriptions recto (printed): (NS1) NASHVILLE, Tenn., May 2--NEGRO DEMONSTRATOR SLUGGED--An unidentified man follows through on a punch that sent / a Negro civil rights demonstrator reeling backward at a sit-in attempt here. The white man wheeled as he was / about to enter a segregated sandwich shop yesterday and struck the youth in the face. Behind the assailant / is a white youth who gaurded the door of the restaurant, unlocking the door for white customers but shoving the / Negroes back as they tried to enter.
