On June 18, 1964 Secher was arrested with 15 other rabbis and Albert Vorspan during a civil rights protest at the segregated Monson Motor Lodge in St. Augustine. The largest arrest of rabbis in American history, this event prompted national media coverage and led to the immediate passage of the Civil Rights Act.
