Alyene Quin and Clare Nesmith
A man and a woman stand next to each other in front of a home in an image taken by a civil rights volunteer.

Head of the MFDP (Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party) in McComb area. Rev. Clare Nesmith, California Methodist minister, my daily companion for two weeks in McComb — a preacher who actually lives by what he preaches." |
