Writing as Gloria House Manana in The Witness in January/February 1994, Gloria recalled participating in SNCC freedom-school and organizing work in Selma and Lowndes County in 1965. She described being arrested while picketing a grocery store, transported to the county jail on a garbage truck, and confined with Ruby Sales and Joyce Bailey in an unsanitary cell without running water. She recalled that guards forced the group out at gunpoint when they were released. Her later memoir provides firsthand context for the detention; its approximate duration is not used to replace the contemporary arrest and release dates.
