In 1961, Black college students fought segregation. Four years later, their Supreme Court case secured First Amendment rights for future protesters.
Sylvia Copper was a freshman at Southern University when she was suspended for her participation in the historic protest. She knew the risks involved but was steadfast in her decision. Sylvia met with producers on the VERY street where the protest took place.
