"Benefit: African Research Foundation\r\nAccording to the New York Times, the concert \"was interrupted briefly as Mr. Davis' quintet was playing the first selection following the intermission when a man in a white jacked walked out to the middle of the stage, sat down directly behind the footlights, and held aloft a sign reading, \"Africa for Africans\". When it became apparent that the man intended to stay there, Mr. Davis halted the music and walked off the stage. After a momentary pause, three men came out and carried the sign-carrier off.\"\r\nWilson, John S. \"MILES DAVIS JOINS EVANS IN CONCERT: TRUMPETER AND HIS QUARTET HEARD IN JAZZ PROGRAM.\" New York Times (1923-), May 20 1961, p. 13.
