TSU Sit-ins: The Desegregation of Houston | Houston Rockets
Рет қаралды 4,168
3 жыл бұрынOn March 4, 1960, Houston's first sit-in was held at Weingarten's grocery store lunch counter by thirteen Texas Southern University students to protest Houston's segregation laws. The peaceful protest began on the TSU campus as the students marched down Cleburne Street to the grocery store counter. The actions by these TSU students directly led to the desegregation of Houston, and were a contributing factor to the signing of the Civil Rights Act in 1964. The grocery store no longer stands, but these students and those of other Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) left a permanent impression on the American Civil Rights Movement.

Proud of my city for doing this 🤯!! It's ridiculous our people had to protest in order to receive basic human rights. Sometimes I ask myself, how come God allowed this? We're all the same. No one is more important than anyone just because of skin. It's hard to have faith with all these disgusting acts of violence for years against us minorities
