Chicago Defender (Daily Edition) (1973-1975);Sep 17, 1974; ProQuest Historical Newspapers The Chicago Defender pg.2 – Caption from photograph of Buglers.
Three members of the 85-youth Warriors Drum and Bugle Corps of the Paul J. Hall Boys Club, scan complicated march music as they await directions to move in a line of parade. The young buglers were among the group who were refused service in a Lowell, Ind. restaurant during a recent contest in that all-white town.
One anonymous Lowell resident said that in the the past six years he/she had seen on black renter downtown who has since moved on. This person reports that there was the feeling that the black renter was being watched closely. March 2013
