On March 27, 1961, nine students from Tougaloo College in Jackson, Mississippi, risked violence, incarceration and their lives when they staged a “read-in” at a whites-only public library. A crowd formed outside the library to intimidate the students. All nine were arrested. Ethel Sawyer Adophe was 20 years old when she and her fellow protesters became known as the Tougaloo Nine. She’s sharing her story of that day on the Seven Days of 1961 podcast. Click the link in bio to listen to her episode.
