- Text transcribed from caption: PF-26262 MINISTERS, RELIGION PROFESSORS JAILED AS FREEDOM RIDERS MONTGOMERY, Ala. -- These “Freedom Riders” were smiling as they arrived here by bus, but all were arrested the next day as they sought service at a segregated bus terminal lunch counter before their scheduled departure for Jackson, Miss. From left are Dr. John Maguire and Dr. David Swift, religion professors at Wesleyan University, Middletown, Conn.; George B. Smith (head partially visible), Negro law student at Yale University; Dr. William S. Coffin, Jr., Yale chaplain and head of the group; the Rev. Gaylor [Gaylord] Noyce, associate professor of the Yale Divinity School; Clyde Carter and Charles Jones, Negro theological students at Johnston C. Smith University, Charlotte, N.C. Others arrested at the “white only” counter were four Negro integration leaders, the Rev. Ralph D. Abernathy, pastor of First Baptist church here; the Rev. Fred L. Shuttlesworth of Birmingham; the Rev. Wyatt T. Walker, an executive of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, and Bernard S. Lee, one of nine students expelled from Alabama State College last year for trying to stage a sit-in demonstration. Another Negro leader, the Rev. Solomon S. Seay, executive secretary of the Montgomery Improvement Association, was short in the wrist the same day, reportedly by a white man in a passing car.
