![["Mrs. Fred R. (LaDonna) Harris attended the Elgin Indian Pride Day rally, where she spoke in support of the Elgin Indian Education Association's demand for the removal of three school officials. The rally was held in protest of a supervised fight between Indian and white students at the Elgin school. LaDonna Harris emphasized the importance of quality education for Indian children and expressed pride in her heritage. She was presented with a blanket by the Indian Association and participated in an Indian dance before leaving for Oklahoma City and Washington, D.C. The Elgin school board has stated that they will not fire the teachers involved in the incident."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Fred%20R.%20Harris%20Collection/CAC_CC_026_3_282_19_0000-LaDonna%20Harris,%20Clippings,%20July,%201967-1973/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_026_3_282_19_0093_thumbnail.jpg "LaDonna Harris Supports Elgin Indian Education Association at 'Indian Pride' Rally")
