Negro Easter Bid Rebuffed in Segregated Services
In St Augustine Florida a mostly white Easter crowd barred Black worshippers from all white services and protesters later picketed the Easter parade. Yale chaplain Winston Davidson was arrested as about 20 white men tried to stop him joining Black picketers. He had stood with five Black participants at the old slave market amid broader integration protests. In Jackson Mississippi bishops were ousted and seven ministers arrested as white Methodist churches barred integration efforts.
