Biography

Jean Catherine Thompson was a Freedom Rider arrested in Jackson, Mississippi on May 24, 1961, and she rode again on December 1, 1961 from Baton Rouge to McComb. The Civil Rights Digital Library holds both her named arrest photograph and newsfilm of the arrests, but does not establish her dispositions or releases, so those fields are unresolved.
