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)
