the singer harry bellafonte was very close to a lot of national civil rights leaders at the time, including martin luther king, and his family, in harry bellafonte's auto biography, he writes about these protests and how there was this national shock and horror at seeing these images, at how these protesters were brutalized in birmingham. there was the practical nuts and bolts dollars and sense matter of raising the bail money to get the protesters out of jail. he raised $50,000 himself, the unions stepped in and kicked up a lot of money. a black store workers union in new york. they sent tens of thousands of dollars to the jail to serve as bail money. with all those hundreds of children in jail, when they totalled up the bill for bail, it was staggering. something like $160,000 they needed to raise to bail out the children. that is in 1963, that is not adjusted for inflation. do you realize how much money that was at that time.
