- UPCUSA Civil Rights demonstration.
- Description
- New York--A peaceful pre-Independence Day demonstration for racial equality was held by some 500 clergymen and members of the United Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A. The placard-carrying demonstrators marched for 45 minutes in a City Hall Plaza area, then heard addresses by Mayor Robert F. Wagner, center, and Dr. W. Eugene Houston, left, a Harlem pastor who heads the presbytery's new commission on religion and race. The Mayor called for enactment of President Kennedy's civil rights proposals and pledged continuing efforts toward greater racial equality in New York City. Dr. Houston warned against the city "dragging its feet"on integration and called for acceleration of school desegregation.

Hewett, Episcopal clergyman of Morton, Pa., takes part in a healing service of Holy Unction from his cot in a county jail annex at Media, Pa. The clergyman went on a prolonged hunger strike to protest racial segregation in public schools after he was arrested in demonstrations at Chester, Pa. The service is conducted by another Episcopal clergyman, the Rev. John Black of Philadelphia. After nearly two weeks -- the last few days during which Mr. Hewett went into a “complete fast,” without food or liquid -- physicians ordered his transfer to a hospital in Chester. The clergyman’s wife, who said she and their six children “think he’s 100 per cent correct,” said his state of dehydration made it necessary to administer liquids intravenously in the hospital, though he was continuing to refuse solids.

- Description
- 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)

The Rev. Bruce W. Klunder, a Student Christian Union leader on Cleveland area campuses, was killed as he threw himself onto the ground behind a bulldozer. Three other demonstrators had jumped in front of the bulldozer and it backed up over the minister. The operator of the machine said he didn’t know Mr. Klunder was in his path.

Since minister, rabbis and Negroes of the community staged prolonged picketing in Hattiesburg, Miss., to protest voter registration practices an effort has been continued there on an interreligious, interracial basis to increase the number of registered Negro voters. The pattern of civil rights demonstrations across the nation is mirrored in the scenes here: a preparatory briefing in a local church (top left), prayer (top right) and petitioning God’s guidance through song, with hand’s linked to symbolize the united effort (bottom left) and peaceful picketing (bottom right). Local authorities, who initially permitted the demonstration within a specified area, later arrested nine United Presbyterian ministers and a Disciples of Christ clergyman on charges of disorderly conduct for having refused to follow police directions.
