The Student Movement And You, 1960

Committee On the Appeal For Human Rights

1960

1960-1969

A flier issued by the Committee on Appeal for Human Rights, addressing the Student Movement's efforts and urging Atlantans to participate in their campaign against racial segregation and discrimination in the city's establishments. The flier highlights the response to the Committee's previous circulation and the eagerness of progressive Atlantans to support the Student Movement's fight for human dignity. The document emphasizes the success achieved in other cities through similar movements and questions why Atlanta, a supposed leader among southern cities, hasn't joined this list of successes. The main focus of the flier is on urging citizens to stop buying at Rich's, a department store until all customers can access facilities and services without racial restrictions. The students have initiated sit-ins at Rich's to protest racial segregation, and the flier explains why the students took this action despite existing court cases on similar matters. It stresses that the fight against segregation is a community movement and calls for united action to bring about practical gains in the struggle for equality and human dignity. 2 pages.
