Biography
Harry Murray was a peace activist whose oral history describes custody following antiwar protests in New York, including community confinement with permission to leave for teaching work.
Identified photograph and case-scope clarification
The photograph is an authentic region from the original October 15, 2004 Nazareth College Gleaner, page 4: Liz Strong's Professor Spotlight: Dr. Murray. The complete two-person photograph, headline, opening identification of Dr. Harry Murray and photographer credit to Megan Flaherty are retained. No individual is isolated or assigned a position through facial resemblance. The original scan already has a clipped right edge; no missing material is reconstructed. The article identifies the sociology professor and Catholic Worker peace activist. Original college publication, page 4.
The Maurin Academy's named guest biography independently connects the Nazareth sociology professor with Catholic Worker hospitality and three months at the Salvation Army with Peter DeMott for protesting the Gulf War. That later-war episode is not treated as an undated 1980s jail term. The earlier Albany anti-Contra protest remains distinct, with exact arrest, admission and discharge dates unverified; its source-stated fifteen days is not used to back-calculate endpoints. Named guest biography.
Additional Rochester antiwar arrest reported in 2004
Liz Strong’s Professor Spotlight interview in The Gleaner, October 15, 2004, page 4, identifies Harry Murray as a Nazareth sociology professor and describes an arrest outside Rochester’s Federal Building roughly a week before the March 2003 invasion of Iraq. This is a separate event from the earlier Albany and Seneca Army Depot episodes. The interview gives no exact arrest day, booking or discharge date, or length of detention for the Rochester event, so it is not assigned a new imprisonment counter. Its general statement that civil disobedience had led to jail time does not establish that this particular arrest resulted in confinement. No birth or death date is given.
Contemporary anti-nuclear custody report
The Good Friday report individually names Harry Murray among the seven April 9, 1982 Pentagon arrestees released on their own recognizance. Trial remained pending; the one-year figure was maximum exposure, not an imposed or served term. No multi-day custody or exact admission/discharge times are supplied.
