Karl Kae Knecht Cartoon

Description: Nighttime view of the U.S. Capitol building, focusing on the dome and entryway to the Senate (which looks like the facade of a Greek temple). The building is lit with spotlights; a lighted sign next to the dome advertises the Civil Rights Bill as though it was a play or movie. The sign promises an all star cast, filibusters, senators sleeping on cots between speeches, and a continuous 24-hour run for 4 to 8 weeks.
