- Text transcribed from caption: PC-41279 ARRESTED AT A&P OFFICES NEW YORK -- The Rev. Jesse Jackson, national director of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference’s Operation Breadbasket, gives a clenched fist salute from a police van after he and 11 other clergymen were arrested in the building housing the national offices of the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company.
