Protest to abolish the death penalty
A sign implores Congress to abolish the death penalty as Chuck Culhane, a former death row inmate, speaks on the first day of a fast and vigil at the Supreme Court. Culhane was one of the hundreds of people whose death sentences were commuted after the Court ruled the death penalty unconstitutional in 1972. Death Penalty Action holds the annual event from June 29 - July 2, the anniversaries of the Court's abolition and reinstatement, respectively, of the death penalty (Photo by Allison Bailey/NurPhoto)
