1950-1959

Written on recto: Negro leaders jailed for bus ride. Sitting behind bars in city jail today are five Negro clergymen arrested on charges that they violated Georgia's segregation laws. At the right is their leader, the Rev. William Holmes Borders. They were in jail pending the posting of $1,00 bond each. The arrests resulted from a group of some 20 Negro ministers occupying public bus seats up front which are customarily reserved for White customers.
