take their time going over the menu in a place like this. except for the fact that that store where those particular protesters wanted to eat back in 1960, that store closed a long time ago. finally, a few years ago, civil rights museum was able to open in what had been the long vacant old storefront from that. here we have another attempt to buy lunch in jackson, mississippi, the state capital, in 1963. this time the group included white people and african-americans sitting down together at that lunch counter in violation of both the unofficial social code and the official law. and bringing upon themselves the outrage and ridicule and abuse of the mob that gathered around them. today that same mix-raced group could eat in that same place without fearing for their safety because that place, like all american restaurants, would be an integrated restaurant now. they put a historic marker at that site just the other day. 50 years of the sit-in at that woolworths in jackson, mississippi.
