VISUAL ACTIVITYLunch Counter Sit-In Tougaloo College professor John Salter Jr. and students Joan Trumpauer and Anne Moody take part in a 1963 sit-in at the Woolworth’s lunch counter in Jackson, Mississippi. Shortly before this photograph was taken, whites had thrown two students to the floor, and police had arrested one student. In 1968, Moody published Coming of Age in Mississippi, a book about her experiences in the black freedom struggle. READING THE IMAGE: What does the photograph tell you about how civil rights protests were staged and how others responded to them in the early 1960s? CONNECTIONS: How would you describe the changes in race relations between African Americans and whites in the United States in the first half of the 1960s?
