[typewritten:] 1. COFO headquarters, 1017 Lynch Street, Jackson. Car in front is one of a fleet recently purchased with money raised by the parents of Andrew Goodman in New York. note two-way radio antenna. 2. COFO office and Freedom House in Gulfport. 3. Our COFO office in Moss Point. note shaky camera. 4. Rev. Charles Miller addressing mass meeting on non-violence. He is our project's minister-counselor, is an Episcopal minister from Michigan. 5. "We Shall Overcome" at close of mass meeting. In center is Tilmon McKeller, our project director, who has been in the movement since 1961. 6. This was shortly before the 62 people on the other side of the road (seen behind the police cars) were arrested for "breach of the peace." 7. If you look carefully, you can see a group of policemen marching in formation toward the meeting. They bear riot guns, tear gas, etc. The police wouldn't let me get any closer; thus the distant photos. 8-10. This is the apartment in which some of us stayed, in an all-Negro housing project in Pascagoula. 8 & 9 are with the doors and windows removed as an attempt to illegally evict us; 10 shows the apartment with the doors and windows boarded up, the following day.
