About this release
Meet the men who stood up for their rights by sitting down at the counter of the Rock Hill, SC Five and Dime. They asked for a cup of coffee and were instead met with violence, police brutality and unjust imprisonment. Rock Hill became a landmark of the Civil Rights Movement and is the origin of 'Jail No Bail.' The tactic spread, inspiring protesters to no longer fund their own oppression through bonds and fines. The courage of these men ignited a passion that changed the course of history.
