Here is the sequence related to the demonstration on behalf of Mr. Young, Kentucky farmer from Owensboro:
"Mr. Young, you and your supporters may demonstrate on the FSU football field, though it is several miles from the KSU Research Farm where the meeting with Black farmers will be held on Thursday, November 15, 2007."
"No, Mr. Young, you and your supporters now have permission to demonstrate on the corner of East Main and Martin Luther King Boulevard, still several miles from KSU's Research Farm where the meeting with Black farmers will be held on Thursday, November 15, 2007."
"Mr. Young, you and your supporters must vacate the premises immediately. You have no right to be on this property where the meeting with Black farmers is being held. You may kindly assemble your supporters at the entrance to the property of the KSU Research Farm, and, you'll notice, that it's about a mile up the road, at a dangerous intersection, so be careful, and, our police department will kindly escort you and your supporters to that location."
Much was to be learned on that day.
