Prominent
Jackson Woman
Arrested At
Memphis Airport

Mrs. Thelma l.. Sanders, one
of Jackson's most prominent
and progressive young busi-
ness women and social leaders
was recently arrested in Mem
phis, Tennessee, and jailed on
a trumped-up charge of disor-
derly conduct. This incident
occurred June 1st as Mrs. San
ders was returning by plane
from Dallas, Texas where she
was attending Back 20 School
and Early Fall Fashion Show
ing of Ladies Wearing APP
parel. She had a layover in
Memphis of about 80 minutes.
During the layover, Mrs.
Sanders went into the Airport
Restaurant for service. The
restaurant was rather crowded
at the time. However, she
found a seat at a table that
was vacant except one chair.
AS she sat down, the occupant
of the seat = who happened
to be white man-apparently
in an effort to frighten her,
peeked from behind the news
paper that he was reading and
growled: This is my table.
You have gotta get up" Mrs.
Sanders replied that she un-
derstOOd that the restaurant
was maintained for the con-
venience of all passengers and
being a passenger, she felt that
she had right to her seat
and therefore would not move.
To enforce his demand, the
man first called the waitress
and then the Manager of the
restaurant who insisted that
Mrs. Sanders leave her seat.
Mrs. Sanders asked the Man
ager why she should relinquish
her seat. The Manager told
her that the man seated at the
table didn't want her there and
that she would have to move
or else he would call the Of
ficers of the law. Mrs. San
ders calmly and quietly retain
ed her seat until the officers
came and ordered her to move.
But, she refused to move until
she was informed that she was
under arrest. Whereupon Mrs.
Sanders went along willingly
without offering any resistance
whatsoever.
At the police headquarters
she was booked on the charge
of 'disorderly conduct and
fined $500. She was told
that if she paid the fine, Of
ficers would take her back to
the Airport in time to catch
her plane to Jackson.
