Description:
Protestant, Catholic and Jewish clergymen have been among some 300 persons
arrested in a series of efforts to integrate the privately owned Gwynn Oak
Amusement Park. In one of the anti-segregation demonstrations outside the
park, a minister donned a red, white and blue "Uncle Sam" outfit to symbolize
the fight for racial equality. He was promptly arrested on trespassing
charges. The clergyman, the Rev. David Andrews, assistant chaplain at Morgan
State College, is shown here being taken into custody by police.
