Description
Text transcribed from caption: P-30801 INTEGRATED CROWD IN SOUTH HEARS BILLY GRAHAM BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- Left photo shows part of the integrated crown which jammed Birmingham’s Legion Field for an Easter service addressed by evangelist Billy Graham (right). Attended by an estimated 50,000 whites and Negroes, the rally was described as the largest integrated audience ever assembled in this city of racial violence. The significance of the event was brought home to all present by the noted evangelist when he told them: “What a moment and what an hour for Birmingham!” The Southern Baptist minister urged his audience to make new efforts to ease the city’s race tensions and to end prejudice in America. Some 300 police were on duty at the football stadium, but no incidents were reported. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (JA-BIRM-3E-64-NAB)
