Text transcribed from caption: P-29846 ACTORS-CHURCHMEN TO COOPERATE IN RIGHTS DRIVE WASHINGTON, D.C. -- A plan to form teams of actors, churchmen and Southern integration leaders to take part in rallies for civil rights legislation was conceived during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom when theatrical personalities met with Dr. Robert W. Spike of New York, second from right, executive director of the National Council of Churches’ Commission on Religion and Race. Dr. Spike and Actor Paul Newman, beside the NCC official, currently are developing the plan. Others shown at Washington National Airport are, at left, Singer Marian Anderson; Roy Wilkins, executive secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and, at right, Actress Faye Emerson.
