Civil Rights photos

Found this on BoingBoing and forwarding it on.

Photos from Civil Rights activities in Alabama in the 50s/60s, never before published.


West End High School students protest the enrollment of Patricia Marcus and Josephine Powell, who were inside. Marcus and Powell were attending their first classes. West End High students boycotted classes as part of their protest.

It's fun (ok, I find if fun) to grab one of the names and google it and see what turns up.
