About the event

Rabbi Allen Secher served congregations in New York City, Mexico City, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Montana between 1962 and 2013.

In the early 1960s, Allen was one of the Freedom Riders during the Civil Rights Movement.

In August 1962, Dr. King put out a call to clergy to join him on a prayer pilgrimage to Albany, Georgia to support the civil rights movement. Dr. King had three requirements to participate: each person needed to have bail money, they could not have anything on their arrest record that would embarrass the civil rights movement and they all had to be committed to non-violence. Allen traveled to Albany and was part of a group of clergy members that held a prayer service in front of the Albany City Hall on August 28, 1962. Four hundred onlookers watched as all 75 clergy members were arrested and taken to four surrounding jails.
