...keeping with the passive tone of their whole rebellion, the Negro defendants-each freed on $300 bond after fingerprinting-proceeded from the jailhouse to church for the next move. About 3,000 Negroes gathered in Montgomery's red brick First Baptist (Negro) Church to protest the arrests, to kneel beneath stained glass windows and peeling yellow walls and sing "Hallelujah."
