As governor from 1959 through 1963, Vandiver opposed public school integration with the campaign motto \"no not one.\"  In response to questions in the press conference, Governor Vandiver asserts that former governor Marvin Griffin demonstrated his financial ignorance by imposing an $80 million tax increase for state operations.  Vandiver then condemns civil rights demonstrators as \"instigators\" and criticizes the nonviolent movement for disregarding the law.  To illustrate his position, he states that comments made the day before on \"Meet the Press\" by Dr. William G. Anderson, president of the Albany Movement, show the movement is looking to incite unrest and violence.  Vandiver affirms that local authorities and the seventy-to-seventy-five state troopers in Albany are keeping the peace.  If there is violence, he will send in the Georgia National Guard to remove the agitators from the area.  His comment in response to a question about New York governor Nelson Rockefeller's request for federal intervention in Albany is not recorded; Vandiver does confirm that there have been no inquiries from Washington regarding the situation.  When asked, Vandiver implies that no federal or state intervention will be needed because the Albany Movement is losing its influence; only three people participated in Sunday's demonstrations.  After intermittent protests since November, 1961, the Albany Movement announced on August 16 that they would no longer organize demonstrations and would instead focus on voter registration efforts.  Vandiver concludes that people in Georgia and the nation are growing \"sick and tired\" of Dr. Martin Luther King, whom he considers to be a self-aggrandizer, troublemaker, and opportunist who is exploiting the situation in Albany for his own personal gain and political capital.  Political leaders, both within Georgia as well as around the nation, viewed civil rights activists, especially King, as \"outside agitators\" who provoked violence and encouraged disorder and \"subversive activities.\"  On the other hand, movement activists defined their activities as \"passive resistance\" and worked in communities with strong local support.","Title supplied by cataloger.","IMLS Grant, 2008.","Digibeta Center Cut (4 x 3) downconvert from HDD5 1080/23.98PsF film transfer."],"dc_format":["video/mp4"],"dcterms_identifier":["Clip number: wsbn42712"],"dcterms_language":["eng"],"dcterms_publisher":null,"dc_relation":null,"dc_right":["http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"dcterms_is_part_of":["Original found in the WSB-TV newsfilm collection."],"dcterms_subject":["African American civil rights workers--Georgia--Albany","Civil rights demonstrations--Georgia--Albany","Nonviolence--Georgia--Albany","Passive resistance--Georgia--Albany","Press conferences--Georgia--Atlanta","Civil rights movements--Georgia--Albany","Segregation--Georgia--Albany","Subversive activities--Georgia--Albany","Police, State--Georgia","Political crimes and offenses--Georgia","Intervention (Federal government)--Georgia","Governors--Georgia","Governors--New York (State)","Meet the press (Television program)","Albany (Ga.)--Race relations--History--20th century","Albany (Ga.)--Politics and government--History--20th century","Georgia--Politics and government--History--20th century"],"dcterms_title":["WSB-TV newsfilm clip of Georgia governor Ernest Vandiver speaking to reporters about the civil rights movement in Albany, Georgia from a press conference in Atlanta, Georgia, 1962 July 30"],"dcterms_type":["MovingImage"],"dcterms_provenance":["Walter J.

The clip begins with the picketers exiting a car parked beside the sidewalk.  At least two men, an adult and a student, and three women exit the car and carry signs as they walk up and down the street in the Albany commercial district.  Slogans on the signs include, \"Oh, Pritchett, open them cells,\" \"Legal to picket in Albany?

Another African American woman holds a sign with the saying, \"1100 arrested in peaceful demonstrations;\" the number on top of the sign appears to have been changed.  Standing with his back to the camera, Albany mayor Asa D. Kelley speaks to an unidentified white man and watches the picketers.  Albany police chief Laurie Pritchett, after watching the picket line march in front of city hall, stops the protesters and speaks to them as they are surrounded by officers and members of the media.  After listening to Pritchett, the demonstrators resume their procession down Albany sidewalks.  In another clip, picketers are arrested by police after they ignore a warning from Pritchett to cease. Civil rights protesters in the Albany Movement who picketed were often arrested for charges including failure to obey an officer, disorderly conduct, blocking the sidewalk, and obstructing traffic.","The Civil Rights Digital Library received support from a National Leadership Grant for Libraries awarded to the University of Georgia by the Institute of Museum and Library Services for digital conversion and description of the WALB News Film collection.","Title provided by cataloger."],"dc_format":null,"dcterms_identifier":null,"dcterms_language":null,"dcterms_publisher":null,"dc_relation":["Forms part of: Civil Rights Digital Library."],"dc_right":["http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"dcterms_is_part_of":["Original found in the WALB newsfilm collection."],"dcterms_subject":["African American civil rights workers--Georgia--Albany","African American college students--Georgia--Albany","African American women--Georgia--Albany","African Americans--Civil rights--Georgia--Albany","African Americans--Politics and government","Arrest--Georgia--Albany","Civil rights demonstrations--Georgia--Albany","Civil rights workers--Georgia--Albany","Direct action--Georgia--Albany","Mayors--Georgia--Albany","Nonviolence--Georgia--Albany","Parades--Georgia--Albany","Picketing--Georgia--Albany","Police--Georgia--Albany","Segregation--Georgia--Albany","Imprisonment--Georgia--Albany","Reporters and reporting--Georgia--Albany","Assembly, Right of--Georgia--Albany","Central business districts--Georgia--Albany","Signs and signboards--Georgia--Albany","Albany (Ga.)--Politics and government--History--20th century","Albany (Ga.)--Race relations--History--20th century","Albany Movement (Albany, Ga.)","Albany City Hall (Albany, Ga.)","Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (U.S.)","United States.

Pritchett reports that the kneel-in participants refused his offer for discussion; they also declined to leave the sidewalk and began to pray, creating a \"general disturbance\" in the Albany uptown area.  Police arrested the demonstrators after asking them to either come inside or leave the property four times.  Pritchett asserts that he knew the time the group was scheduled to arrive, and views the demonstration as a \"prearranged affair.\"  Near the end of the clip, Albany mayor Asa D. Kelley is seen among the reporters.  The kneel-in was led by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Reverend Ralph D. Abernathy of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) as well as Dr. William G. Anderson and Slater King, president and vice president of the Albany Movement.  Rev. Abernathy prayed for the city and its leaders, as well as the civil rights movement and its leaders before the police arrested the group.  A second kneel-in at city hall, led by Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) member Charles Jones, took place later that day and led to more arrests.","The Civil Rights Digital Library received support from a National Leadership Grant for Libraries awarded to the University of Georgia by the Institute of Museum and Library Services for digital conversion and description of the WALB News Film collection.","Title provided by cataloger."],"dc_format":null,"dcterms_identifier":null,"dcterms_language":null,"dcterms_publisher":null,"dc_relation":["Forms part of: Civil Rights Digital Library."],"dc_right":["http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"dcterms_is_part_of":["Original found in the WALB newsfilm collection.","Civil Rights Digital Library Collection (Digital Library of Georgia)"],"dcterms_subject":["African American civil rights workers--Georgia--Albany","African American physicians--Georgia--Albany","African Americans--Civil rights--Georgia--Albany","African Americans--Politics and government","Arrest--Georgia--Albany","Civil rights demonstrations--Georgia--Albany","Civil rights workers--Georgia--Albany","Direct action--Georgia--Albany","Interviews--Georgia--Albany","Kneel-ins--Georgia--Albany","Police--Georgia--Albany","Prayer--Georgia--Albany","Press conferences--Georgia--Albany","Public worship--Georgia--Albany","Religion and politics--Georgia--Albany","Reporters and reporting--Georgia--Albany","Segregation--Georgia--Albany","Mayors--Georgia--Albany","Albany (Ga.)--Politics and government--History--20th century","Albany (Ga.)--Race relations--History--20th century","Albany Movement (Albany, Ga.)","Southern Christian Leadership Conference","Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (U.S.)","Albany (Ga.).

Atlanta-based SNCC sent the two to Albany to evaluate the possibility of a voter registration project. Sherrod and Reagon found local high school and college students interested in the Civil Rights movement and taught principles of nonviolence to many of them. In November, 1961 the Albany Movement, created from the civil rights efforts of several local clubs, began leading civil rights demonstrations and protests. Albany demonstrations followed other civil rights efforts in the South by confronting segregation with direct action tactics such as marches; boycotts of the bus system and downtown businesses; and tests of the public library, public parks, and other segregated facilities. As in this clip, the Albany protesters also staged \"kneel-ins,\" public prayers for the city and its leaders often held near City Hall. Civil rights activists frequently submitted to arrest rather than leave when confronted by police in order to demonstrate resistance against laws they considered unjust and to increase pressure on city officials. Albany police chief Laurie Pritchett, aware of the sympathetic national attention demonstrators gained by scenes of police violence during civil rights protests, instructed Albany officers to respond nonviolently to passive resistance.","Title supplied by cataloger.","Optical sound.","IMLS Grant, 2008.","Digibeta Center Cut (4 x 3) downconvert from HDD5 1080/23.98PsF film transfer.","Condition notes: 2009-03-01, Leader Replaced (Yancey)"],"dc_format":["video/mp4"],"dcterms_identifier":["Clip number: wsbn44812"],"dcterms_language":["eng"],"dcterms_publisher":null,"dc_relation":null,"dc_right":["http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"dcterms_is_part_of":["Original found in the WSB-TV newsfilm collection."],"dcterms_subject":["African American civil rights workers--Georgia--Albany","Boycotts--Georgia--Albany","Civil rights demonstrations--Georgia--Albany","Civil rights movements--Georgia--Albany","Direct action--Georgia--Albany","Nonviolence--Georgia--Albany","Passive resistance--Georgia--Albany","Police--Georgia--Albany","Segregation--Georgia--Albany","African American students--Georgia--Albany","Race discrimination--Georgia--Albany","Police chiefs--Georgia--Albany","Albany (Ga.)--Race relations--History--20th century"],"dcterms_title":["WSB-TV newsfilm clip of African American students arrested after a kneel-in at city hall in Albany, Georgia, 1962 July 27"],"dcterms_type":["MovingImage"],"dcterms_provenance":["Walter J.

Violence will only bring shame on African Americans and will allow the city and state to dismiss the movement as violent.  King asks for the support of his listeners and for their help to spread the word of nonviolence to their friends and family members, inviting them to the mass meeting that evening.   Next, an unidentified speaker intimates that violence plays into the hands of Albany police chief Laurie Pritchett and the segregationists.  Finally, Abernathy tells the audience that the movement is not asking them to stop resisting segregation but to fight it nonviolently because \"nonviolence is the way of the strong.\"","Title supplied by cataloger.","IMLS Grant, 2008.","Digibeta Center Cut (4 x 3) downconvert from HDD5 1080/23.98PsF film transfer."],"dc_format":["video/mp4"],"dcterms_identifier":["Clip number: wsbn41630"],"dcterms_language":["eng"],"dcterms_publisher":null,"dc_relation":null,"dc_right":["http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"dcterms_is_part_of":["Original found in the WSB-TV newsfilm collection."],"dcterms_subject":["Nonviolence--Georgia--Albany","African Americans--Georgia--Albany","Civil rights demonstrations--Georgia--Albany","Police--Georgia--Albany","Segregation--Georgia--Albany","Direct action--Georgia--Albany","Mobs--Georgia--Albany","Civil rights movements--United States","Passive resistance--Georgia--Albany","Neighborhoods--Georgia--Albany","Billiard parlors--Georgia--Albany","Violence--Press coverage--Georgia--Albany","Police chiefs--Georgia--Albany","Albany (Ga.)--Race relations--History--20th century"],"dcterms_title":["WSB-TV newsfilm clip of civil rights leaders promoting nonviolence in a poolroom in Albany, Georgia, 1962 July 25"],"dcterms_type":["MovingImage"],"dcterms_provenance":["Walter J.

While neither the demonstrators nor the leaders of the Albany Movement were violent during the disturbance, King says that the civil rights movement abhors violence so much that they are compelled to assume some responsibility for any destructive behavior of African Americans who were present.  In response to the dispute, civil rights leaders declare a \"day of penance\" in which there will be no demonstrations and ask that those who adhere to nonviolent principles pray for those who have not yet assimilated them.  King regrets that violence plays into the hands of segregationists, and that public officials are exploiting the outbreak \"for their own political capital.\"  King also announces afternoon plans to take a team disciplined in nonviolence into businesses, pool halls, and taverns of Albany's Harlem neighborhood to educate residents about appropriate nonviolent tactics and to encourage their practice.  As explanations for the crowd's actions, King cites the July 23, 1962 beating of a pregnant Marion King, the wife of Slater King, cousin of Martin Luther King, by guards in Camilla, Georgia; and the April 15, 1962 slaying of Albany African American restaurant owner Walter Harris by local police.  He avows, however, that these are not excuses.  African Americans may develop a sense of discontent and at times bitterness after being the victims of so much violence.  King states that although he believes that only a small minority of the activists have been violent, the movement will reconsider scheduling night demonstrations.  Demonstrations at any time, day or night, will only resume if a commitment to nonviolence is demonstrated in the Albany community; King is optimistic that this will prove to be the case.","Title supplied by cataloger.","IMLS Grant, 2008.","Digibeta Center Cut (4 x 3) downconvert from HDD5 1080/23.98PsF film transfer."],"dc_format":["video/mp4"],"dcterms_identifier":["Clip number: wsbn41631"],"dcterms_language":["eng"],"dcterms_publisher":null,"dc_relation":null,"dc_right":["http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"dcterms_is_part_of":["Original found in the WSB-TV newsfilm collection."],"dcterms_subject":["Nonviolence--Georgia--Albany","African Americans--Georgia--Albany","Civil rights demonstrations--Georgia--Albany","Segregation--Georgia--Albany","Direct action--Georgia--Albany","Mobs--Georgia--Albany","Passive resistance--Georgia--Albany","Police brutality--Georgia--Albany","Police brutality--Georgia--Camilla","Press conferences--Georgia--Albany","Police--Georgia--Albany","Neighborhoods--Georgia--Albany","Violence--Press coverage--Georgia--Albany","Civil rights movements--Georgia--Albany","African Americans--Violence against--Georgia","Albany (Ga.)--Race relations"],"dcterms_title":["WSB-TV newsfilm clip of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. speaking about nonviolence at an outdoor press conference after violence during a night march in Albany, Georgia, 1962 July 25"],"dcterms_type":["MovingImage"],"dcterms_provenance":["Walter J.

Interviewees include Albany police chief Laurie Pritchett, Albany Movement vice-president Slater King, and Albany Movement president Dr. William G. Anderson. The clip begins with three or four reporters speaking to Chief Pritchett, wearing a suit; few of Pritchett's comments are recorded. Next, a reporter asks Slater King to comment about the day's proceedings. King replies that he considers it excessive for the city to have taken two hours to explain why the courts do not usually uphold injunctions issued against cities. King praises Constance B. Motley, New York attorney with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) for her work on behalf of the Albany Movement. According to King, Motley quickly refuted the city's argument and demonstrated that the motions the city cited had been overturned by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, and, in one case, by the Supreme Court. King reports that chief federal appellate court judge Elbert P. Tuttle plans to announce his decision on the case the next morning. Finally, Anderson and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. exit the building and speak to reporters. Anderson compliments Motley for using the cases cited by the city to refute the motion; Dr. King's comments are not recorded. On July 21, 1962, Albany city officials obtained a restraining order from federal judge J. Robert Elliott prohibiting Dr. Martin Luther King and leaders of the Albany Movement from leading pickets, marches, and other demonstrations in Albany. Lawyers from the Albany Movement appealed to Judge Tuttle, chief federal appellate court judge, who agreed on July 23 to hear a motion to reverse the temporary injunction. Judge Tuttle reversed the restraining order on July 24. C. B. King and Donald L. Hollowell, Albany Movement attorneys, were assisted by Constance B. Motley and New York civil rights attorney William Kunstler.","Title supplied by cataloger."],"dc_format":["video/mp4"],"dcterms_identifier":["Clip number: walb00062"],"dcterms_language":["eng"],"dcterms_publisher":null,"dc_relation":null,"dc_right":["http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"dcterms_is_part_of":["Original found in the WALB-TV newsfilm collection."],"dcterms_subject":["African American civil rights workers--Georgia--Albany","African American lawyers--Georgia--Albany","African American physicians--Georgia--Albany","African Americans--Civil rights--Georgia--Albany","Civil rights demonstrations--Georgia--Albany","Civil rights movements--Georgia--Albany","Albany (Ga.)--Politics and government--History--20th century","Albany (Ga.)--Race relations--History--20th century","Civil rights workers--Georgia--Albany","Courthouses--Georgia--Atlanta","Injunctions--Georgia--Albany","Interviews--Georgia--Atlanta","Lawyers--Georgia--Albany","Physicians--Georgia--Albany","Police--Georgia--Albany","Reporters and reporting--Georgia--Atlanta","Restraining orders--Georgia--Albany","Segregation--Georgia--Albany","Judges--United States","United States magistrates","Forensic orations--Georgia--Atlanta"],"dcterms_title":["WALB newsfilm clip of police chief Laurie Pritchett, Albany Movement vice-president Slater King, and Albany Movement president William G.

Pritchett explains that approximately two thousand African Americans gathered at the intersection of Oglethorpe and Jackson streets, the boundary of the African American or \"Harlem\" section of Albany, after the demonstrators from the night march were arrested.  Concerned with the size of the crowd, Pritchett reports that he led his men and Georgia state troopers (numbering between 160 and 180) into Harlem by rows, two men across, with one row of men on each side of the street.  This was the first time police entered Harlem during a civil rights march. Pritchett and his men remained nonviolent, even after two men were injured by objects thrown from the crowd.  An Albany officer hit with a bottle was able to stay on the job that evening; however, state trooper Claude Hill from the Tifton area lost two teeth when he was hit in the jaw with a rock.  As a result of the violence, police arrested forty African Americans, including twenty-four juveniles and sixteen adults, one of whom was white.  The arrested adults were sent to Newton, Baker County, and the juveniles were held in Albany.  Pritchett commends the men under his direction for their nonviolent response and demeanor in the Harlem district.  When asked to respond about a rumored outbreak of violence in another area of the city, Pritchett indicates that his officers had already checked the area, and found no disturbances.  He explains to another reporter that extra law enforcement is not necessary, and that available personnel are sufficient for current needs.  Finally, Pritchett commends the citizens of the city, county, and surrounding counties for their cooperation and asks for their continued assistance. After chief federal appellate court judge Elbert P. Tuttle reversed federal district court judge J. Robert Elliott's July 21 temporary restraining order on the Albany Movement, forty African Americans participated in a night march from Mt. Zion and Shiloh Baptist churches on July 24 and were arrested.  Violence that erupted in response to that evening's arrest led to the police action described by Pritchett.  In response to the incident, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and other leaders of the Albany Movement announced the cessation of night marches, declared July 25 a \"day of penance,\" and called for a twenty-four hour moratorium on demonstrations.  During the moratorium, leaders actively encouraged nonviolence throughout the African American community.","The Civil Rights Digital Library received support from a National Leadership Grant for Libraries awarded to the University of Georgia by the Institute of Museum and Library Services for digital conversion and description of the WALB News Film collection.","Title provided by cataloger."],"dc_format":null,"dcterms_identifier":null,"dcterms_language":null,"dcterms_publisher":null,"dc_relation":["Forms part of: Civil Rights Digital Library."],"dc_right":["http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"dcterms_is_part_of":["Original found in the WALB newsfilm collection.","Civil Rights Digital Library Collection (Digital Library of Georgia)"],"dcterms_subject":["Shiloh Baptist Church (Albany, Ga.)","Mt.

The marchers, many dressed in white, walk two abreast, flanked by two reporters with notepads. Police meet the demonstrators downtown where Albany police chief Laurie Pritchett speaks to the crowd through a bullhorn. Georgia state troopers stand in a line, apparently blocking traffic from the street; city officials relied on the assistance of troopers during many of the marches. Police stand by and watch as Reverend Samuel B. \"Benny\" Wells leads the demonstrators in prayer; as he prays, they kneel or sit on the sidewalk. Next, the marchers sing and clap their hands in an alley, most likely in \"Freedom Alley,\" a dead-end street beside City Hall where arrested civil rights protesters often waited for booking. The clip ends with policemen standing in the street near a movie theater in Albany. On July 21, Albany city officials had obtained a federal injunction against local and national leaders restraining them from leading marches and other demonstrations. At a scheduled mass meeting held that evening at Shiloh Baptist Church, Reverend Wells, who was not named in the injunction, volunteered to lead a march. Over one hundred people followed him downtown and were arrested; another fifty marched later that night and joined those already in jail. The night march on July 21 was one of the last night marches held in Albany. After violence erupted in response to the marchers' arrest on the evening of July 24, the  Albany Movement organized daytime marches to avoid further incidents.","The Civil Rights Digital Library received support from a National Leadership Grant for Libraries awarded to the University of Georgia by the Institute of Museum and Library Services for digital conversion and description of the WALB News Film collection.","Title provided by cataloger."],"dc_format":null,"dcterms_identifier":["Clip number: walb00007"],"dcterms_language":["eng"],"dcterms_publisher":null,"dc_relation":["Forms part of: Civil Rights Digital Library."],"dc_right":["http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"dcterms_is_part_of":["Original found in the WALB newsfilm collection."],"dcterms_subject":["African American civil rights workers--Georgia--Albany","African Americans--Civil rights--Georgia--Albany","African Americans--Politics and government","Arrest--Georgia--Albany","Civil rights demonstrations--Georgia--Albany","Civil rights workers--Georgia--Albany","Imprisonment--Georgia--Albany","Nonviolence--Georgia--Albany","Parades--Georgia--Albany","Passive resistance--Georgia--Albany","Police--Georgia--Albany","Police, State--Georgia","Prayer--Georgia--Albany","Protest marches--Georgia--Albany","Public worship--Georgia--Albany","Segregation--Georgia--Albany","Motion picture theaters--Georgia--Albany","Injunctions--Georgia--Albany","Restraining orders--Georgia--Albany","Reporters and reporting--Georgia--Albany","Singing--Georgia--Albany","Mass meetings--Georgia--Albany","Violence--Georgia--Albany","Clergy--Georgia--Albany","Kneel-ins--Georgia--Albany","Albany (Ga.)--Politics and government--History--20th century","Albany (Ga.)--Race relations--History--20th century","Freedom Alley (Albany, Ga.)","Albany City Hall (Albany, Ga.)","Albany Movement (Albany, Ga.)","Shiloh Baptist Church (Albany, Ga.)"],"dcterms_title":["WALB newsfilm clip of African Americans arrested for participating in a night march, Albany, Georgia, 1962 July 21"],"dcterms_type":["MovingImage"],"dcterms_provenance":["Walter J.
