THE SOUTH: Counter-Revolution

• Share

The Negro sit-in campaigns to achieve equality in sitting down at lunch counters won three more victories last week. Variety stores (all of them national chains: Woolworth, Kress, Grant) in Durham, N.C., Chattanooga, Tenn., and Miami, Fla. opened counters to all customers without discrimination. Since the sit-in movement began last February in Greensboro N.C., counters have been desegregated in 32 other cities and counties in the South and the border states:

Kansas: Kansas City.

Kentucky: Frankfort.

Maryland: Baltimore.

Missouri: Jefferson City, St. Joseph.

North Carolina: Chapel Hill, Charlotte, Concord, Elizabeth City, Greensboro, High Point, Salisbury, Winston-Salem.

Oklahoma: Guthrie, Oklahoma City, Tulsa.

Tennessee: Knoxville, Nashville.

Texas: Austin, Corpus Christi, Dallas, Galveston, San Antonio.

Virginia: Arlington and Fairfax counties, Alexandria, Falls Church, Fredericksburg, Hampton, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Williamsburg.
