Biography

A. Lenora Taitt, an Atlanta University graduate and SNCC activist who rode the train from Atlanta, was among those arrested in Albany, Georgia, on December 10, 1961, when police charged the arriving Freedom Riders and their local supporters with disorderly conduct, obstructing traffic, and failure to obey an officer after the confrontation over the white waiting room at the train station. The arrests are documented in the WSB newsfilm preserved by the Civil Rights Digital Library, which records the event and the charges but not individual release dates or final dispositions; those fields remain unresolved pending Albany court or jail records.
