Biography/History:

Mae Mallory was born in Macon, Georgia and lived in New York, New York. As part of the "Harlem Nine", Mallory challenged the New York City Board of Education zoning policies in 1957. In 1961, Mallory travelled to Monroe, North Carolina to assist a group of Freedom Riders. White residents attacked the Freedom Riders, and Mallory was accused of kidnapping by a North Carolina couple. She fled to Cleveland, Ohio where police subsequently found and arrested her. In 1964, Mallory was extradited back to Monroe and was tried by an all-white jury. Mallory was convicted and sentenced to 16-20 years in prison. Mallory was subsquently exonerated in 1965 "after a judge overturned the verdict based on the fact that African Americans had been excluded from the jury process."
