Title: Principals in Alabama bus boycott.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: #PBLEM-18874 PRINCIPALS IN ALABAMA BUS BOYCOTT MONTGOMERY, Ala. -- Three ministers are among these four leaders of the three-month boycott here protesting segregation in city buses. Twenty-four clergymen will be among those tried on March 19 for allegedly violating the state’s anti-boycott law. Left to right are: The Rev. L.R. Bennett; the Rev. H.H. Hubbard; the Rev. Ralph D. Abernathy; and E.D. Nixon, president of the local NAACP. The boycott was launched in December after a Negro seamstress was fined $14 for refusing to move to the rear of a bus. Alabama state and local laws require that Negro riders be segregated in public conveyance. Protestant church groups in various parts of the country have expressed sympathy with the boycott.

Description: 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.

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.
