Title: Civil rights demonstrators march at fair.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: PC-30917 CIVIL RIGHTS DEMONSTRATORS MARCH AT FAIR NEW YORK -- Opening day of the New York World’s Fair featured both organized pomp and ceremony and demands for civil rights by members of the Congress of Racial Equality. Most fairgoers gave picket lines brief attention, though demonstrations at some pavilions drew crowds as police broke up disturbances and made arrests. Here, members of the Boston, Mass., chapter of CORE march in the shadow of the Unisphere, the fair’s symbol. None of the eight religious pavilions at the exposition was picketed and few, if any, clergymen were involved in the demonstrations. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (RNS-NY-4D-64-NBM)

Title: New York school boycott keeps many out of class.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: PC-30565 NEW YORK SCHOOL BOYCOTT KEEPS MANY OUT OF CLASS NEW YORK -- Many students went to class on schedule, but thousands of others observed a one-day boycott of all New York City schools to protest racial imbalance in the system. The demonstration was the largest of its kind ever held in the country, with 464, 361 students -- 44.8 percent of the total enrollment -- observing the boycott. Though "freedom song" renditions and shouting marked the march around schools, the picketing was orderly and unobstructed. Many of the boycotting students spent the day in "freedom schools" established mainly in local churches. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (W-NY-2B-64-NBM)
