Tougaloo College professor John Salter is on the left. Activist from lunch counter protest dies at 84 By EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS Associated Press JACKSON, Miss. — A community organizer shown in an iconic photo- graph while challenging racial segregation at a Mis- sissippi lunch counter in the 1960s has died at his home in Pocatello, Idaho. Known by his birth name John Salter Jr. when he worked at historically black Tougaloo College in Mississippi, he later changed his name to John Hunter Gray to honor the Native American part of his ancestry. He sometimes went by the nickname Hunter Bear Gray. Relatives say he was 84 when he died Monday after an illness. Salter was a sociology teacher and NAACP youth adviser in Mississippi in the early 1960s, working closely with Mississippi NAACP leader Medgar Evers. In May 1963, Salter joined black and white Tougaloo students during a sit-in at a segregated lunch counter at the Woolworth’s store in downtown Jackson. A mob of young white peo- ple doused them with sugar, mustard and ketchup and attacked Salter with brass knuckles and broken glass. The taunting crowd and the peaceful protesters were captured in a black- and-white photograph that gained international attention. “I was burned with cig- arettes, hit and had pepper thrown in my eyes,” Salter, by then known as Gray, wrote in an article pub- lished in The Guardian in 2015. “The women weren’t struck, but had their hair pulled. All the while the air was filled with obscen- ities, the n-word — it was a lavish display of unbridled hatred.” The two young women in the photo with Salter were an African-Ameri- can student named Anne Moody, who later wrote a memoir called “Com- ing of Age in Mississippi,” and who died in 2015; and a white Tougaloo student named Joan Trumpauer, who is now named Joan Trumpauer Mulholland and lives in Alexandria, Vir- ginia. She told The Asso- ciated Press on Wednes- day that Salter taught young people they could take action to challenge injustice.

Like many civil rights activists in the 1960s, Salter was monitored by peo- ple working for the Mis- sissippi Sovereignty Com- mission, a state-funded spy agency that sought to pre- serve segregation. Mulhol- land was also watched by the commission. “It was an absolute given,” she said. Salter grew up in Ari- zona and worked as a labor union organizer in the U.S. Southwest before moving to Mississippi, said one of his sons, John Salter of Lin- coln, Nebraska. After working in Mis- sissippi, the elder Salter worked on voting rights in North Carolina, taught in Iowa, did human rights work for Native Americans in New York and Chicago and taught American Indian studies in North Dakota. “He never considered himself a career professor,” his son said Thursday. “His real love was the stuff he did outside the classroom.” John Salter said his father lived by a favorite phrase from the Industrial Workers of the World labor union: “An injury to one is an injury to all.” Michael O’Brien inter- viewed John Salter Jr. for his book “We Shall Not Be Moved: The Jackson Woolworth’s Sit-In and the Movement It Inspired.” “John was a true ‘radi- cal’ in the very best sense of that word,” O’Brien said in a statement Thursday. “He was a fierce advocate for those without a voice, or perhaps better stated, for those who had not yet discovered their voice. ... John’s charismatic blend of political activism and can-do philosophy empow- ered thousands to begin advocating for their rights and their freedoms. “In my mind, he was a ‘great soul’ who felt deeply the suffering of others and who turned that empathy into action,” O’Brien said. Gray is survived by two sons and two daughters. His wife of more than 50 years, Eldri Salter, died in 2015. A memorial service will be organized later. 1/11-1/13 Cineplex Show Times $5 Classic Movie 1/16 • 12pm EMPEROR OF THE NORTH The Upside (PG13) 1:20* 4:00 6:40 9:20 T HE U PSIDE (PG-13) A D OG ’ S W AY H OME (PG) Replicas (PG13) 11:40* 2:00* 4:30 7:00 9:30 R EPLICAS (PG-13) E SCAPE R OOM (PG-13) A QUAMAN (PG-13) M ARY P OPPINS R ETURNS (PG) B UMBLEBEE (PG-13) T HE M ULE (R-17) $5. 50 Tuesdays** **ALL DAY TUESDAY, MOST MOVIES.
