Text transcribed from caption: P-30906 CLEVELAND CHURCH BECOMES ‘FREEDOM SCHOOL’ CLEVELAND -- Cleveland public school students, absent from their regular classes during a boycott in behalf of integration, nevertheless spend their day in a classroom atmosphere. The youngsters are getting a lesson in the meaning of the civil rights movement at a “Freedom School” at the Friendship Baptist church. Some 80-per cent of the city’s 75,000 Negro students observed the boycott. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (U-C-4D-64-NBM)
