Biography
Frederick Leonard was a Tennessee State University student and Nashville movement activist. He survived the white-supremacist attack on the Freedom Riders in Montgomery and was arrested there during the May 1961 crisis. On May 28, police arrested him again when a Freedom Ride reached Jackson, Mississippi. The next day a judge sentenced the riders to sixty days. Leonard was confined in the Hinds County jail and at Parchman before release on bond after serving 39 days. Tennessee State expelled him for participating in the ride.
Calculated release date for the stay beginning May 28, 1961: July 6, 1961, adding the recorded completed custody duration of 39 days with elapsed-calendar-day counting. This is a calculated date from the recorded admission and duration, not a separately documented physical-discharge date.
