Title: Appalachia scene of poverty film.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: P-31839 APPALACHIA SCENE OF POVERTY FILM NEW YORK -- The clapboard shack of a poverty-stricken miner starkly emphasizes the plight of thousands of Appalachia residents. The scene is from a new documentary film, “The Captive,” produced through the National Council of Churches under the sponsorship of eight member denominations. Tracing the plight of an actual man whose one skill, digging coal, is now obsolete, the documentary calls attention to pockets of poverty throughout the country and seeks to stimulate concern over ways to free the nation’s “captive poor.” The Council on International Nontheatrical Events gave “The Captive” one of its 1964 Golden Eagle Film Awards and included it among films chosen to represent the U.S. at major overseas film festivals.

Title: Injunction served during racial prayer service.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: P-29735 INJUNCTION SERVED DURING RACIAL PRAYER SERVICE CLARKSDALE, Miss. -- One of the few Clarksdale, Miss., white men to step inside the city’s First Baptist church during a prayer service for racial unity was a county deputy sheriff. He served an injunction on two of 36 ministers from several states who traveled to Clarksdale at the request of the National Council of Churches’ special Commission on Religion and Race. The injunction, while not applicable to the religious observance in the Negro church, was a sweeping ban against virtually all types of integration demonstrations. None of the approximately 20 white Clarksdale clergymen took part in the prayer service. The NCC commission and Clarksdale Negro ministers held the service in an effort to establish communication with local authorities. The injuction was handed here to the Rev. Brad Minturn, left, a Protestant Episcopal minister of Silver Spring, Md., and the Rev. Gerald Forshey, a leader of the Interracial Council of Methodists in Chicago, Ill.
