"4 He enrolled at Wayne State University planning to become an engineer for one of the Big Three automakers. "5 Each year on August 6, the residents of Prentis House joined with Catholic Workers picketing at the Selfridge Air Force Base in Mount Clemens on the anniversary of the World War II bombing of Hiroshima. City officials tolerated Civil Rights protests as long as they remained in Selma's Black section. Because this group of demonstrators had ventured into the white side of town, the cops immediately arrested them.
