Can anyone tell me where I can find an old news photo depicting Louis Cousins, one of the "Norfolk 17"?

The "Norfolk 17" were honored Sunday at the church that educated them 50 years ago when six of the city's all-white public schools closed under Virginia's defiant response to court-ordered desegregation. Many members of this courageous group were isolated from their white classmates during their high school years. Louis Cousins was widely depicted in a news photograph sitting alone in the Maury High School auditorium while white classmates were seated many rows away. This is a dramatic image that I would like to see. Searching the web, however, did not help me find this black and white news photo from many years ago.

Can anyone give me a link to this photo?
