Title: "Freedom Schools" held for boycotting students.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: P-30567 "FREEDOM SCHOOLS" HELD FOR BOYCOTTING STUDENTS NEW YORK -- Several hundred "Freedom Schools," most of them located in Protestant churches, were established throughout New York City during the boycott held in protest to racial imbalance in the public schools. Here, at Grace Congregational church in Harlem, the Freedom School class was composed of Negro and Puerto Rican students; many white students also took part in the boycott and most Freedom School classes were well integrated. Instruction was concentrated on the meaning of the civil rights effort, but also included other subjects and recreation. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (W-NY-2B-64-NBM)

Title: Seminarians' racial Christmas card.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: PC-31952 SEMINARIANS’ RACIAL CHRISTMAS CARD ST. PAUL, Minn. -- This unusual Christmas card was a result of the involvement of a group of seminarians in a racial justice project last summer in Mississippi. The greeting card reproduces a photo of a Negro boy in a Harlem slum. Participating in the racial project were about 100 students preparing for the priesthood at Nazareth Hall, minor seminary of the St. Paul archdiocese, in suburban Arden Hills. As a result of their work they were determined to have a “relevant” message dealing with racial justice on one of the Christmas card they prepare and sell annually. The card reads: “Christ is here. Go to meet Him. He is here…in His poor, in the afflicted, in the little ones, in those thirsting for justice, in His least brethren, in the crucified. Embrace Him.” Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (WT-MINN-12D-64-NAB)

Title: Hits abortion's genocidal aspects.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: PC-46497 HITS ABORTION’S GENOCIDAL ASPECTS NEW YORK -- Comedian-turned-social-activist Dick Gregory tells a gathering of youthful right-to-life leaders in New York that he opposes abortion because of its coercive and genocidal aspects. Speaking during the third annual “Thanksgiving for Life” Convention sponsored by the National Youth Pro-Life Coalition, a non-sectarian, non-partisan group working for “positive alternatives” to abortion, war, capital punishment, euthanasia, compulsory sterilization and “other forms of violence,” Mr. Gregory said he fully supports the right to life of every human being “from conception to natural death.” He added that he “unequivocally” endorses a “total human life amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would promote the value and dignity of every human life.” The 42-year-old father of 10 is currently involved in bringing attention to the world food shortage, particularly in Africa. He termed efforts toward population control the work of the wealthy elite seeking to exploit natural resources by limiting births. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (CS-NY-12A-74-DS)
