Abstract:

The author tells of the Bennett College women who joined in the Woolworth Lunch counter sit-ins and continued to picket and march for equality. Dr. Esther Terry, who had taken part in the movement said “Bennett taught me that a meaningful education came with a responsibility, not only to recognize injustice, but to act against it.’
