Biography
Frank George Holloway was arrested in Jackson, Mississippi, on May 24, 1961, for participating in the Freedom Rides and challenging segregation in interstate transportation — one of the arrests recorded by the Mississippi State Sovereignty Commission and preserved in the Civil Rights Digital Library. The catalog establishes the arrest, the participation, and the individually identified police photograph, but not the court disposition, any transfer to Parchman, or the physical release date; those fields are unresolved pending county-jail, court, or penitentiary records.
The Jackson police placard in the verified photograph reads 5-24-61 where the catalog dates the record May 25, 1961; the placard date is entered.
December 1962 SNCC jail report
The December 19, 1962 Student Voice identifies Frank Holloway as a SNCC Executive Committee member and former executive secretary of Atlanta’s Committee on Appeal for Human Rights. Its Gadsden report connects his November 28 arrest to segregated lunch-counter demonstrations and explicitly says he was released December 7, while other prisoners were released December 4. This independently corroborates the already-recorded November 28–December 7 Gadsden episode and does not create another case or change its nine-day interval. The separate May 1961 Freedom Ride case remains unchanged.
Arrest dates, physical jail admission, release on bond, imposed sentences and actual time served are kept distinct. The newsletter’s ages and group counts do not establish exact birth dates or the custody of unnamed demonstrators.
