Description: A crowd of around 5,000 people gathered for a Unity Day Rally on Sunday November 10, 1968 in the Mayflower Hotel Ballroom to oppose Cardinal Patrick O'Boyle's support of the Humanae Vitae's stance on birth control and to support the 54 dissident priests who disagree with Cardinal O'Boyle. The rally was also attended by a caucus of black priests who discussed racism in the church and some Catholics from San Antonio who presented their own demands. Senator Eugene McCarthy was the keynote speaker at the rally.
