Biography
Louise Jean Inghram was arrested in Jackson, Mississippi, on June 25, 1961, for participating in the Freedom Rides and challenging segregation in interstate transportation — 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.
In Freedom Riders Speak for Themselves (1961), Inghram describes two separate New Orleans detentions during her August stay: a bus-stop vagrancy/loitering arrest followed by cell confinement and release before court, and a later leaflet arrest followed by same-evening release after processing. These are separate from the Jackson/Parchman case. The narrative establishes August but supplies no exact calendar dates. Source.
