March on Washington
These signs, that the marchers are holding, are just a few of the things they were marching for, like police brutality and voting rights. The marchers were demanding these things after years of being treated unfairly.
Room 03
The students that took part in the Greensboro sit-ins put economic pressure on businesses by forcing them to desegregate sooner or lose money by losing customers. This image shows how common these signs were, and how deeply segregated the South was.
This picture was taken of the original Greensboro 4. They stayed calm and polite even while people were throwing food, hurling insults, and even arresting them.
