- Text transcribed from caption: P-31238 HATTIESBURG RACE EFFORT CONTINUING HATTIESBURG, Miss. -- Scenes of last January remained vivid in July, as the nation’s most comprehensive civil rights bill became law. Since minister, rabbis and Negroes of the community staged prolonged picketing in Hattiesburg, Miss., to protest voter registration practices an effort has been continued there on an interreligious, interracial basis to increase the number of registered Negro voters. The pattern of civil rights demonstrations across the nation is mirrored in the scenes here: a preparatory briefing in a local church (top left), prayer (top right) and petitioning God’s guidance through song, with hand’s linked to symbolize the united effort (bottom left) and peaceful picketing (bottom right). Local authorities, who initially permitted the demonstration within a specified area, later arrested nine United Presbyterian ministers and a Disciples of Christ clergyman on charges of disorderly conduct for having refused to follow police directions.

- Text transcribed from caption: PC-32124 TREE DEDICATED TO SLAIN RIGHTS WORKER NEW YORK -- Mr. and Mrs. Robert Goodman (center) join hands with students of the Walden School in New York City and sing the civil rights anthem, “We Shall Overcome.” They stand before a tree dedicated to the memory of their son, Andrew, who was one of three volunteer civil rights workers murdered last summer in Mississippi. Andrew was a graduate of Walden School. The student body raised funds to purchase the tree and the plaque. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (U-NY-2B-65-NBM)
