File information
Description

Michigan governor George Romney (shirt sleeves) joins NAACP Detroit president Edward Turner (holding placard reading, "A House Knows No Prejudice") at the head of a protest procession, estimated by sources to be 600 strong, through the Detroit suburb of Grosse Pointe. (Quoting Congressional Quarterly weekly report: Volume 25, Part 2):

Though not specifically invited, Romney June 29, 1963, joined an anti-segregation march through the fashionable Detroit suburb of Grosse Pointe, saying "there is an excessive amount of discrimination in housing. ..."

This event was additionally alluded to by George's son Mitt Romney during the latter's campaign for the Republican U.S. presidential nomination in 2008.
