Description
Police line the sidewalk as civil rights activists approach the new Tuscaloosa County Courthouse, protesting the "whites only" signs over 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.
