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.

Description: Text transcribed from caption: P-31056 PROTESTANT CIVIL RIGHTS PROCESSION WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Some 270 Protestant ministers and laymen moved in silent, solemn procession from the Lutheran Church of the Reformation on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., to the Capitol, where they urged immediate passage of a strong civil rights bill. Enroute, the marchers paused briefly on the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court building for prayers commemorating the 10th anniversary of the 1954 decision outlawing public school segregation. At right, Dr. Robert W. Spike, director of the National Council of Churches’ Commission on Religion and Race, which sponsored the demonstration, follows Sen. Hubert Humphrey (D.-Minn.) down the Capitol steps. Sen. Humphrey and Sen. Kenneth B. Keating (R.-N.Y.) addressed the gathering, hailing religious support of the bill.
