Active in the 1960’s Civil Rights Movement<\/h2>\n

Clarence Seniors participated in the Tuskegee and Atlanta struggles and was a founding member of the group which established SNCC under Ella Baker\u2019s stewardship. He was a frequent visitor at the Highlander Folk School as a lecturer and workshop leader.<\/p>\n

Clarence Seniors is to the right of SNCC founder, Ella Baker, with Miles Horton far left the director and Septima Clark, the Education director, third left.<\/p><\/div>\n

The Highlander Folk School played a critical role in the\u00a0Movement as well as Mr. Seniors\u2019 development. It trained civil rights leader\u00a0Rosa Parks<\/a>\u00a0prior to her historic role in the\u00a0Montgomery Bus Boycott<\/a>, as well as providing training for many other movement activists, primarily Fisk University Students who played a pivotal in the\u00a0Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee<\/a>\u00a0(SNCC) \u00a0in the mid- and-late 1950s. A popular attendee was Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. \u00a0(Reference: John M. Glen,\u00a0Highlander: No Ordinary School, 1932-1962<\/em>. The University Press of Kentucky, 1988.\u00a0ISBN<\/a>\u00a00-8131-1617-1<\/a><\/p>\n

When Septima Clark was honored as Woman of the Year in 1958 by the Harlem Utility Club, a civic service, she informed Louise Fisher Morris, the president that she would not accept unless her associate Clarence H. Seniors would also be honored and be seated on the dais next to her. The honor was bestowed on him and he was given a college scholarship to attend Morris Brown College. (Charron, Katherine M. Freedom’s Teacher: The Life of Septima Clark<\/em>. Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Pr, 2012. Internet resource).<\/p>\n

Clarence H. Senior’s Civil Rights Arrest Record<\/h2>\n

Clarence H. Seniors was arrested on numerous occasions in Atlanta during the civil rights sit in demonstrations according to the \u201cAtlanta Constitution<\/em> articles and duly confirmed by FBI investigation files.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \\<\/p>\n

Long before Lonnie King and Julian Bond became active in the Atlanta Sit-In Movement, Mr. Seniors. a student at Morehouse College, began to sit-in at the Atlanta Central Public library conferring with AU\u2019s Dean Whitney Young, Mathematics Professors, Dr. Bill Houston, Dr. Howard Zinn, the Quakers, Dr. Lonnie Cross (his mentor), as well as \u00a0white liberal \u201cfellow travelers\u201d on the faculty at Morehouse, Spellman College and Atlanta university.<\/p>\n

Mr. Seniors was the second African American to obtain a library card on May 19, 1959, after the first black mayor, Maynard Jackson\u2019s mother, Irene Dobbs Jackson, a professor at Spellman College, was invited to join (https: \/scholarblogs.emory.edu\/woodruff\/fee\/john-Wesley-Dobbs<\/a>.).\u00a0 This prominent African American family was considered part of the Black Bourgeoisie.<\/p>\n

When Mr. Seniors visited the library, he was always met at the door by an official, who guided him to a separate reading room and provided him with a very helpful special assistant. If he had forgotten his library card he was allowed to check out books using his Morehouse ID. As he exited the library, a plain clothed police officer took charge and followed him back to the campus. The police officer took his hand when he got out of his car and escorted him to the office of the Dean and he received a reprimand.<\/p>\n

Accompanied by Morehouse College Mathematics Professor William Houston, in 1958 Mr. Seniors was among two other Morehouse Students \u201cwho came knocking,\u201d attempting to enroll at Atlanta\u2019s Georgia Tech the first institution of higher education in the Deep South to integrate peacefully in 1961 without a court order.<\/p>\n

Mr. Seniors was not allowed to continue as a student at Morehouse because, as was stated, \u201chis associations and questionable activities both on and off the campus.\u201d The dismissal was sparked by his passing out a protest document when the African Leader Tom Mboya, of Kenya, was invited to the university when he was raising money to sponsor students from Kenya to attend Black colleges in America. The protest \u201cOpen Letter to Tom Mboya\u201d was concerned with Mboya\u2019s strong connections to the CIA. (Tom Mboya\u00a0– Foreign\u00a0agents link in Mboya assassination<\/a> (source)www.<\/em>tommboya.org\/…\/110-foreign-<\/em>agents-link-in-mboya-assassination)<\/p>\n

Seeking to get back into Morehouse College, Mr. Seniors retained Conrad Joseph Lynn, the outstanding African-American civil rights lawyer and activist known for providing legal representation for defendants such as Robert F. Williams of the Monroe, North Carolina \u201cNegroes of Guns Movement\u201d (Lynn writes about Williams\u2019 and Mae Mallory\u2019s struggles in There Is a Fountain: The Autobiography of Conrad Lynn<\/em>. Brooklyn, N.Y: Lawrence Hill Books, 1993. Print).<\/p>\n

Mr. Seniors was a prot\u00e9g\u00e9e of, the civil libertarian, Dr. Lonnie Cross, Chair of Atlanta University\u2019s Math Department, who in protest with respect to his dismissal from Morehouse, allowed Seniors to take all graduate classes.<\/p>\n

Dr. Cross introduced Clarence to Julian Bond\u2019s father, Dr. Horace Man Bond (AU\u2019s Dean of Education School and past president of Lincoln University and two other HBCUs). Dr. Bond took Clarence on as a student assistant when he was doing research on African American doctorates, using Mr. Seniors\u2019 extensive bibliography on Black history books, research papers and scholarly articles on Black PhDs. Dr. Horace Mann Bond is highly recognized as an esteemed educator, American historian and social science researcher. One of his most famous books is The Education of the Negro in the American Social Order.<\/em>..<\/p>\n

Dr. Cross supervised the first of the sit-ins, which used as their target the fancy Magnolia Dining Room at Rich\u2019s Department Store, the largest department store in Atlanta. The owner of Rich\u2019s had established a close relationship with the Wealthy Black Bourgeoisie Clients of Atlanta \u2013 inviting them on special occasions \u2013 after shopping hours \u2013to the Magnolia Room, giving them special, \u201cseparate but equal buying privileges\u201d – treating them better than regular black customers. That group spent large sums of money on merchandise at the store.<\/p>\n

When Lonnie King and Julian Bond began to organize the Atlanta Student Movement they stated that they were told by the FBI that the group should avoid having an association with Clarence H. Seniors. Nonetheless, when AU\u2019s President Rufus Clement called the group together and took charge in writing \u201cthe Committee on Appeal for Human Rights,\u201d Mr. Seniors was invited to participate in the deliberations and was allowed to continue to participate in all of the demonstrations.<\/p>\n

Working closely with the Atlanta university students was Ella Baker who felt the SCLC and CORE should join the activities of the college students who had started the sit-in movement in Greensboro, North Carolina. Clarence Seniors participated in the founding conference of SNCC answering Ella Baker\u2019s call to organize the Sit-In movement.<\/p>\n

Acting as his own Attorney, Clarence H. Seniors filed suit in the Atlanta Federal Court for Segregation of facilities in the Municipal Courts.\u201d The suit was dismissed on June 6, 1960. \u00a0He filed noticed of appeal to the Federal Courts.<\/p>\n

A Morris Brown College junior, Clarence H. Seniors, 22, filed a $1 million suit in U. S. \u00a0\u00a0District Court attacking segregated seating in the municipal courts of Atlanta<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

He named Mayor William B. Hartsfield and Chief Judge Luke Arnold as defendants.\u00a0 Seniors, in one of 19 points of\u00a0his suit, asserted that “Neither black men nor white men come before the courts. Just men. Why then must they take Jim Crow Seats in the courts?<\/p>\n

The appellant \u201cpro se\u201d sued on behalf of himself and of other Negro citizens of Atlanta, Georgia, seeking a declaratory judgment and injunction to prohibit racially segregated seating in the Atlanta Municipal Court. He named as defendants Honorable Luke Arnold, the Chief Judge of said Court; the City of Atlanta; and Honorable William B. Hartsfield, the Mayor of said City.<\/p>\n

Because of this court action, a KKK cross was burned in the front yard of his house as well as Dr. Kings\u2019 home. He always kept a bundle of threatening letters, including many from the well-known racist restaurateur (Lester Maddox) of the \u201cThe Pick rick\u201d fame \u2013 who was also an avid \u201cletter to the newspaper editor\u201d and later became Governor.<\/p>\n

Clarence H. Seniors and other Atlanta Black Atlanta University students were arrested for refusal to \u201cmove on\u201d in a lunch room demonstration. Rich’s Department Store\u2019s Restaurant, the prominent Magnolia Room, became the target of the Atlanta civil rights movement<\/a> in the 1960s.

The Magnolia Room Demonstration was initiated by his group.<\/p>\n

\u201cOfficials identify 77 arrested in Sit-downs (p.7). Clarence Seniors, as President of The Atlanta Congress of Racial Equality, was one of the fifty-nine arrested, jailed, and later released for participating in Negro student city-wide sit-in demonstrations at various eating places for whites and for failure to leave the premises when requested to do so by the owners.

Clarence Seniors left the Atlanta Movement after the \u201cSell-out\u201d and began to get more involved with Malcolm X and the Black Muslims in Atlanta, while keeping a close relationship with Robert F. Williams of Monroe, North Carolina, his \u201cNegroes with Guns Movement\u201d and the White New York Radicals and Communist Fellow Travelers who supported him. (Williams, Robert F. Negroes with Guns<\/em>. Victoria, BC. Canada: Stellar Classics, 2017. Print.)<\/p>\n

He did not join the Nation of Islam with Dr. Cross and his students when they answered \u201cThe Call.\u201d That was because he felt he was most needed at the time to provide much needed support to the Monroe Defendants when they were arrested and were brutally assaulted by the white mob. As a result, Clarence left Atlanta after completing most of his studies at Morris Brown.<\/p>\n

If anyone can say he\u2019s been in the Black Liberation Struggle since he\u2019s been knee high to grass-hopper, Mr. Seniors says he can.<\/p>\n

When he was only 13, he created a stir in the city of Tampa, Florida, where he was born 25 years ago; he initiated and carried on a whirlwind petition campaign for Walter Lee Irvin who like Mae Mallory was fighting for his life.<\/p>\n

Clarence Seniors and the organization that he founded (with others) successfully fought for the freedom of the outstanding civil rights leader, Mae Mallory and the Monroe, North Carolina, Black Power, \u201cNegroes with Guns\u201d defendants. With the exception of Robert F. Williams (who fled to Cuba), they were all arrested, on kidnapping charges, tried and given lengthy jail sentences. They all got out on appeal with expensive bail bonds posted by The Monroe Defense Committee. The case was thrown out on appeal because they were tried by an all-white segregated jury. Williams was later exonerated.<\/p>\n

Mr. Seniors participated in all of the Leading civil rights marches in Washington, D.C. and the historic Selma to Montgomery March.<\/p>\n

In December 11, 1965 The John Brown Commutation Committee was organized in 1965 with the aid of Conrad Lynn, the leading civil rights lawyer, for the purpose of organizing a \u201cJohn Brown Memorial Pilgrimage\u201d to Harpers Ferry to mark the 106 Anniversary to celebrate the\u00a0anniversary<\/strong>\u00a0of John Brown\u2019s hanging and to work on developing a new policy of self-defense. Self-reliance and internationalism. The Committee designated Clarence H. Seniors as the \u201cKeynote\u201d speaker. The National Guardian newspaper stated that he was critical of SNCC, Dr King and other movement organizations for not fighting against the Vietnam War.<\/p>\n

After the kidnapping case was won, Clarence left the radical civil rights movement in the late 1960s when things ended following Dr. King\u2019s \u201cI Have A Dream Speech\u201d during the historic March on Washington. \u00a0He left for a career on Wall Street.<\/p>\n
