Like Macdonalds or a Walgreens lunch counter?
Rather than serve people of color, this Walgreen's lunch-counter closes "in the
interests of public safety." Other cafes and lunch- counters call the cops to
arrest Blacks for the crime of ordering a cup of coffee in defiance of the
segregation laws.
Just days after the Greensboro sit-in, students from American Baptist
Theologic Seminary, Fisk University, Meharry Medical College, and Tennessee
A&I begin confronting segregation in Nashville TN. They politely sit at
"whites-only" lunch counters and restaurants. They are met with violence,
brutality, and arrest. Hundreds are jailed, and thousands march in protests that
continue for years.
