A soon-to-be-auctioned Beatles contract for a 1965 California concert reveals that the group took a firm stand in support of the era’s civil rights movement, refusing to play before a segregated audience.
The contact, which is signed by the Liverpool group’s manager, Brian Epstein, specifies that they “not be required to perform in front of a segregated audience” for their August 31, 1965, show at the Cow Palace in Daly City, California.
