A poster titled "Don't Buy At Woolworth" calls for Black and White people to have sit-in protests at Woolworth's lunch counters because of the separated counters by race and color. The poster highlights the challenges faced by protesting students, including mass arrests, fines, threats of expulsion, and encounters with racist individuals. It emphasizes the students' motivation to fight against segregation, which deprives African Americans of equal opportunities and dignity, and calls for a boycott of Woolworth stores to pressure the national chain to end racial segregation policies. The document encourages joining CORE to support the picket lines against Jim Crow laws. 2 pages.
