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)
