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. Denial of the appeal generally was on technical grounds. The clergymen, from left to right, are: the Rev. John W. 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. Hardge of Hood Memorial African Methodist Episcopal Zion church, Providence, R.I.; Rabbi Israel Dressner of Temple Sharey Shalom, Springfield, N.J.; the Rev. Robert J. Stone of New York, assistant executive director of the Commission on Religion and Race of the United Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A.; Dr. Robert McAfee Brown, professor at Stanford University, Palo Alto, Cal., and nationally known United Presbyterian theologian who was a delegate observer at the second session of the Vatican Council; and the Rev. Petty D. McKinney of St. Phillip's AME Zion church, Nyack, N.Y. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (WW-NY-8B-64-NBM)
