On the afternoon of August 22, 1972, a group
of about three to four hundred persons, mostly Zippies,
demonstrated in the area of the convention hall, Miami
Beach, Some of these people started burning some flag
bunting on a pole and they were surrounded by the Florida
Highway Patrol, The Patrol started to make arrests and

demonstrating was described as a "mixed group" in which
persons from several different types of groups were

On August 22, 1972, a large demonstration took

Miami and Flamingo Park area,
