| Purpose of use |
To illustrate a unique historic event in the life of Samuel Tucker who organized the sit-in and defended the arrestees in court. The photograph is used in a section commenting on and analyzing the historic significance of the event and depicts the actual men Tucker recruited, trained and defended in court. The photo depicts details discussed in the article such as the jackets and ties of the participants who had been instructed to dress well so as to avoid charges of disorderly conduct. The article discusses how the photograph of the sit-in participants in jackets and ties, calmly but resolutely being escorted from the library by uniformed police, is used as a teaching aid in Alexandria, where students from Samuel W. Tucker Elementary have donned similar attire and posed in recreations of the photograph. The use in no way limits the copyright owner's rights. The image is used in a similar fashion on a number of City of Alexandria websites to illustrate this historic event (e.g. http://www.alexandria.lib.va.us/lhsc_online_exhibits/doc/archived/feb_2004/doc.html http://alexandriava.gov/recreation/info/default.aspx?id=24664). |
