On May 4th at 4:00 PM at the Lincolnville Museum and Cultural Center there will be a Remembering June, 1964 - a Retrospective 60 years Later Event focusing on the 16 Rabbis who were arrested in St. Augustine. This event was the largest mass arrest of rabbis in US history in which the 16 rabbis participated and helped facilitate the Monson Motor Lodge wade-in protest.

The rabbis came in response to a letter written by Dr. King addressed to the CCAR Conference (Central Conference of American Rabbis). The rabbis felt strongly about standing up for human rights in which they "realized that injustice in St. Augustine, as anywhere else, diminishes the humanity of each of us" (https://rac.org/why-we-went-joint-letter-rabbis-arrested-st-augustine, and were arrested the same day that the pool incident happened at the Monson). On June 17, 2014, six of the original group returned to the city to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the Civil Rights Act. The video presentation will go into detail on their return to St. Augustine. There will be a discussion of the video and a musical performance by Rob Tobias.

Tickets are $5 per person and are available on Eventbrite. This presentation will be on the upstairs floor of the LMCC.
