In May of 1921, members of Montgomery's white churches built a 1000-person tabernacle for Dothan's Reverend Bob Jones to preach a four week revival. As many as 6000 worshipers would show up for a service. At the end of the campaign, on Sunday, June 22, 1921, members of Alabama's state police force began to arrest business owners who refused to close their businesses on Sunday. One guy who owned a soda-drink fountain, Harry Arrington, had the cops arrest him SEVEN TIMES that day. Harry deserved a medal. (from the June 22, 1921 TROY MESSENGER)
