In spite of repeated requests to county officials, they were denied permission to see the prisoners. “We had a feeling that we were completely outside the United States and were being treated as enemy aliens,” Mr. Boyd said.

Title: Christmas service in new Mississippi church.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: PC-31974 CHRISTMAS SERVICE IN NEW MISSISSIPPI CHURCH RIPLEY, Miss. -- A group of northern college students, calling themselves “Carpenters for Christmas,” paused with members of the congregation of the Negro Antioch Baptist church near Ripley, Miss., for Christmas services. The church, burned to the ground Oct. 30 after a civil rights rally was held there, was reconstructed during the holiday weeks by the volunteer student group. The paster of the congregation, the Rev.

Most of the volunteer carpenters were from Oberlin (Ohio) College. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (W-NY-12E-64-NBM)
