The Civil Rights Jail-In Movement began when 10 Black students in Rock Hill, South Carolina, were arrested for requesting service at a segregated lunch counter. The students refused to post bail and demanded jail time rather than pay fines, thereby refusing to acknowledge any legitimacy of the laws under which they were arrested.
These were brave courageous students who risked their lives so that others may enjoy the benefits of freedom, justice, and equality.
