Description	A photograph of a sign protesting Metro Consolidation, circa 1962. There was a substantial protest movement against the consolidation of the city and county governments. Some opponents argued that creating a single government entity would be more costly in the long run and would not meet public service needs of the community. The anti-Metro sign pictured reflects a general paranoia of Communist plots to overtake local governments in the United States. b & w; 35 mm.
