Biography
Carroll Gary Barber is documented by the Civil Rights Digital Library, which expands his middle name as Gary and was arrested in Jackson on July 15, 1961 for participating in the Freedom Rides — 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.
No birth or death dates have been located.
