Biography
Allan Levine was a Montreal-born rabbi living in Bradford, Pennsylvania, who had participated in an Interfaith Freedom Ride earlier in June 1961 and joined a San Francisco-to-Jackson ride and was arrested at the Jackson Municipal Airport on July 21, 1961 — 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 photograph caption misspells his first name Allen. A CRDL case file, State of Mississippi versus Allan Levine, documents the prosecution, but the sentence and release remain unresolved.
