Pine Bluff Racial Issue Shows Stand-In at Theater
In Pine Bluff Arkansas a peaceful stand-in by about 10 Negroes at the Saenger Theater sought admission to a movie but were refused. Meanwhile South Side Baptist Church approved seating Negroes, with no comment from its pastor. Other local churches reportedly authorized or considered balcony seating for Negroes, while mixed services occur at Catholic churches. Leaders urged a selective buying campaign and sit-in actions have occurred at various downtown venues. An SNCC official denied plans for demonstrations. A final note mentions an effigy mound in Adams County Ohio as the largest in the United States.
