I know you can’t include every detail, but an important one is that those young men sitting quietly at a lunch counter had to endure verbal and physical attacks. They were called names, spit on, hit, pushed, and had food thrown on them. In many cases protesters were arrested. As we all know when a white, southern sheriff takes a black person to jail their not nice about it.

I went to the Civil Rights Museum in Atlanta and sat at the lunch counter exhibit and cried. It was inhumane what those heroes had to endure. Thank you for the reminder.
