He was arrested in 1960 for violating his parole on a traffic citation. This was after lunch counter demonstration in Atlanta. The arrest was done to harass him. John F. Kennedy worked to get him released. Dr. Martin Luther King was arrested 30 times in all for participating in peaceful demonstrations.
