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)

Title: Hunger strike for civil rights.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: P-30988 HUNGER STRIKE FOR CIVIL RIGHTS MEDIA, Pa. -- The Rev. Clayton K. Hewett, Episcopal clergyman of Morton, Pa., takes part in a healing service of Holy Unction from his cot in a county jail annex at Media, Pa. The clergyman went on a prolonged hunger strike to protest racial segregation in public schools after he was arrested in demonstrations at Chester, Pa. The service is conducted by another Episcopal clergyman, the Rev. John Black of Philadelphia. After nearly two weeks -- the last few days during which Mr. Hewett went into a “complete fast,” without food or liquid -- physicians ordered his transfer to a hospital in Chester. The clergyman’s wife, who said she and their six children “think he’s 100 per cent correct,” said his state of dehydration made it necessary to administer liquids intravenously in the hospital, though he was continuing to refuse solids.

Title: Freedom Riders start jail terms in Florida.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: PC-31371 FREEDOM RIDERS START JAIL TERMS IN FLORIDA TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Eight white and Negro clergymen arrested in 1961 in a sit-in integration attempt at a Tallahassee, Fla., airport restaurant went to jail there after three years of unsuccessful appeals. They chose 60-day sentences rather than paying $500 fines after Federal Court turned down a new appeal. Their case earlier went up to the U.S. Supreme Court but that tribunal refused to hear it.

Collier, pastor of Israel Memorial African Methodist Episcopal church, Newark, N.J.; the Rev. A. McRaven Warner, executive secretary of the Manhattan Division of the Protestant Council of the City of New York; Rabbi Martin Freedman of Temple B'nai Jeshurun, Paterson, N.J.; the Rev. Arthur L.

Vernon Missionary Baptist church -- the 11th Negro church to be destroyed by fire in the state this summer and the second burned in the McComb area within five days. The 200-member Mr. Vernon church was organized in 1886. The widespread arson was seen as racist reaction to civil rights meetings in the Negro houses of worship.

Title: "Freedom Schools" held for boycotting students.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: P-30567 "FREEDOM SCHOOLS" HELD FOR BOYCOTTING STUDENTS NEW YORK -- Several hundred "Freedom Schools," most of them located in Protestant churches, were established throughout New York City during the boycott held in protest to racial imbalance in the public schools. Here, at Grace Congregational church in Harlem, the Freedom School class was composed of Negro and Puerto Rican students; many white students also took part in the boycott and most Freedom School classes were well integrated. Instruction was concentrated on the meaning of the civil rights effort, but also included other subjects and recreation. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (W-NY-2B-64-NBM)
