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)

The occasion was a testimonial dinner for the noted Negro integration leader in recognition of his winning the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize. The dinner was attended by a sell-out audience of 1,500 guests, about half of them white. It was sponsored by about 100 leading religious and civic residents of Atlanta, where Dr. King was born and where he is co-pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist church.
