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. John R. McDonald, preaches the Christmas sermon to the church members and students, who later put the roof on the new structure and rushed to complete the interior before returning to their campuses. Most of the volunteer carpenters were from Oberlin (Ohio) College. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (W-NY-12E-64-NBM)

Title: Chicago in second school boycott.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: PC-30654 CHICAGO IN SECOND SCHOOL BOYCOTT CHICAGO -- The study hall at integrated Tilden High School seemed almost empty as Chicago had its second one-day boycott of schools called by Negro civil rights groups to protest "de facto" segregation. More than 100 "freedom schools" were held, many of them in churches, for Negro students participating in the boycott. Teachers were volunteer college students and others qualified. The Chicago public school system has about 470,000 pupils, approximately 50 percent Negro. Absent from school on boycott day were some 172,350 children, according to the city's Board of Education. In the first boycott, Oct. 22, about 224,770 were reported out of classes. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (W-2C-64-NAB)
