Title: Hattiesburg race effort continuing.
Description: 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.

Title: Delta Ministry posters.
Description: Hattiesburg, Miss.--Posters in the window of the Hattiesburg, Miss. offices of the National Council of Churches' Mississippi Delta Ministry call attention to various phases of the long-range relief, rehabilitation and education program among impoverished Negroes and whites. Hailed by many and criticized by others, largely for its encouragement of the Negro voter registration and efforts to organize laborers, the Ministry is the first such project in this country to receive support from the World Council of Churches. Headquartered in Greenville, Ministry centers also are maintained in Cleveland, Hattiesburg and McComb, Miss.
