Carolyn Briggs - Sit Ins (clip)

Carolyn Briggs: Most of the students that were in there, they- we- were like fourteen, fifteen years old. So, you marched, demonstrated, it wasn’t – the older ones I think experienced some hostilities- but the younger ones, it was fun to work, to grow, and know that you could make a difference, that you could do something that would make a change. And with the movement, the marching, the sit-ins, yeah I did, and well saying trouble- I didn’t consider it trouble- but yeah you were arrested going to some of the sit-ins, but we were too young so, they’d take you in and kind of scare you- you’ve never been to a jail- but then they’d let you go because you were just a child.
