- Text transcribed from caption: PC-31355 NEGRO LEADERS CONFER ON DEMONSTRATIONS NEW YORK--Negro leaders of four major civil rights groups called for a “broad curtailment” of mass demonstrations until after the Presidential election.

Shown around the conference table are from left, Bayard Rustin, organizer of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom; Jack Greenberg, NAACP attorney; Whitney M. Young, Jr., executive director of the National Urban League; James Farmer, national director of CORE; Roy Wilkins, executive secretary of the NAACP; Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., head of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference; John Lewis, chairman of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee; and A.

Wagner on ways to ease racial tensions and raise the economic status of Negroes. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (W-7E-64-NAB)
