Description
Onlookers watch as civil rights activists march toward the new Tuscaloosa County Courthouse to protest "whites only" signs above water fountains and restrooms.
The march came after T. Y. Rogers called a meeting at the First African Baptist Church on April 20, 1964. The march was part of the plan designed to fight the city's insistence on discriminatory signage specifically in the new courthouse.
