Local authorities searched the church looking for James Farmer, National Director of Congress of Racial Equality (CORE). As it turns out, Farmer who’d gone out back, escaped in a hearse, driven by the people at the Good Citizen Funeral Home. A feature-length documentary covering CORE’s workshops in the community can be seen at the Bay Area Television Archive.
