Biography

Lonnie Thurman was a teacher in Los Angeles, born about 1926 and was arrested on July 30, 1961 after traveling by Illinois Central train from New Orleans to Jackson — 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.
