THE NEW YORK TIMES, June 19, 1964 The front page has a four column-wide photo with a headline "16 Rabbis Arrested as Pool Dive-In Sets Off St. Augustine Rights Clash" with a caption "Policeman dives into pool at the Monson Motor Lodge in St. Augustine, Fla., to arrest the civil rights demonstrators". This is in response to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. writing a letter from the jail asking for assistance from the rabbis for all the civil rights unrest that was occurring due to not following the segregation laws. This was the largest arrest of rabbis in America. Coverage continues inside the issue.
