Biography

Eric Weinberger was detained during civil-rights demonstrations reported in May 1963.

The newsletter individually identifies Eric Weinberger among the jailed Freedom Walkers and reports his extended hunger fast. The Walkers had been arrested May 3 after crossing into Alabama and were still held at Kilby State Prison when the newsletter was written. The reported eighteenth day is an ongoing observation, not a final term; no first admission or final release date is supplied.
