Biography
Mary Lucille Hamilton 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, which also supplies her life years, 1935 to 2002. 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.
Calculated release date for the stay beginning June 25, 1963: June 30, 1963, adding the recorded completed custody duration of 5 days with elapsed-calendar-day counting. This is a calculated date from the recorded admission and duration, not a separately documented physical-discharge date.
