Michael Schwarzwalder at downtown Columbus rally   Save
Columbus Citizen-Journal Photograph Collection
Description: Photograph showing Alan Michael Schwarzwalder, a two-term Democratic Ohio senator, during a large rally at the Ohio Statehouse grounds in downtown Columbus, Ohio, from the Columbus Citizen-Journal Collection. Participants carry signs against nuclear arms proliferation, with many holding signs identifying the Ohio county that they represent. A table appears to be piled with collected petitions or other documents. Schwarzwalder was in office from 1977-1985, and was interested in labor and social justice issues. After his terms in the senate, he left Columbus for a couple of decades before moving back, serving as chief of staff for Mayor Michael B. Coleman and later heading up the city's Environmental Stewardship Office. View on Ohio Memory.
