Title: Dr. King wins Nobel Peace Prize.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: PC-31714 DR. KING WINS NOBEL PEACE PRIZE ATLANTA, Ga. -- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who has led the non-violent movement for civil rights in America for some ten years, was named to receive the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize. The noted Baptist minister received the news from his wife by phone while at St. Joseph’s Infirmary, a Catholic hospital in Atlanta, where he had gone for a physical check-up. He said that “every penny” of the award money -- expected to be more than $54,000 -- would go for the civil rights movement. Dr. King is founder and president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, dedicated to promoting equal rights for all Negroes. He is the second American Negro and the youngest person -- at 35 -- to win the Nobel Peace Prize. In September, Dr. King was received by Pope Paul VI in private audience at the Vatican.

Title: Bombed Negro church reopens.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: PC-31127 BOMBED NEGRO CHURCH REOPENS BIRMINGHAM, Ala.-Worshippers move silently with their children as they enter the 16th Street Baptist church at Birmingham for the first time since the Negro congregation’s building was bombed Sept. 15, 1963, killing four Sunday school children. As the church held its first service since that tragedy, the sermon was given by a white minister, Dr. H. O. Hester of Montgomery, secretary of the Alabama Baptist Convention’s Department of Missions. Celebrant of the “Reentry Service” was the Rev. John H. Cross, pastor of the church and longtime friend of Dr. Hester. Some worshippers wept as they walked past the church’s glass-enclosed bulletin board which still bore the date of the bombing. Parents of the four girls killed by the explosion of the church’s basement were among the congregation attending the service. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (W-6B-64-NAB)

Title: First Negro Catholic in N.C. county.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: C-30711 FIRST NEGRO CATHOLIC IN N.C. COUNTY WADESBORO, N.C. -- A happy day for what is regarded to be America's smallest parish. Miss Barbara Joan Clark, a student nurse, becomes the first Negro Catholic in Anson County, N.C., as she is baptized by Father Ambrose F. Rohrbacher, pastor of Sacred Heart Church, Wadesboro. Miss Clark, 20, chose St. Joan of Arc as her patron saint. Her sponsor is Mrs. Doria Foster Moore, who taught Barbara at the Lincoln Hospital Nursing School in Durham. Sacred Heart is the smallest parish in the least-Catholic state in the Union. It covers all of Anson County, which has a population of 24,962, of which 12,231 are Negroes. The county's Catholic population is 21 -- and Miss Clark was the 21st. Her baptism filled the church to capacity for the first time in its history -- largely with non-Catholic friends.
