Title: 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.

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)

Title: Clergyman dies in civil rights protest.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: PC-30847 CLERGYMAN DIES IN CIVIL RIGHTS PROTEST CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The grim grin of shock spreads across the face of a civil rights demonstrator at the sight of a 26-year-old United Presbyterian clergyman’s dead body sprawled across the track of a bulldozer that ran over him at a Cleveland, Ohio, school construction site. 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.

Title: Episcopal clergyman ends long civil rights fast.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: P-31012 EPISCOPAL CLERGYMAN ENDS LONG CIVIL RIGHTS FAST CHESTER, Pa. -- The Rev. Clayton K. Hewett, 30 pounds lighter after an 18-day hunger strike in protest to racial segregation in schools at Chester, Pa., smiles at the youngest of his six children. Six-month-old Maria Theresa is held by another daughter, Darrale Jeanne, 13. Mrs. Hewett is at right. The clergyman, with one arm in a sling, ended his fast after Pennsylvania Governor William Scranton launched an effort to solve the Chester school segregation problem. He was arrested on several charges during a protest demonstration and after 10 days in jail, the last three in “complete fast” without liquids, was hospitalized. For the last eight days he continued his protest, accepting only juice and vitamins. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (W-NY-5C-64-NBM)
