See anyone you remember? Although the year of this event is uncertain, it's during the warmer weather months based on the clothing being worn. In the background you can see Alkire's Variety Store. If you know the event and who is pictured, please include any information in the comment section below.
When Jesse Jackson ran for President of the United States in 1984, one of his stops was at Clarksburg's Liberty High School. Jackson is shown speaking above, while former Clarksburg Mayor, the late Bob Reynolds, far left, and former City Manager Patsy Trecost, second from left, look on.
