Fifty-five years ago the Friendship Nine sat at stools in a segregated Rock Hill restaurant and changed history.

They were then arrested and their peaceful protest shaped the civil rights movement.

3. Rest in peace and love Clarence.

Isn't it ironic the Friendship Nine chose McCrory’s lunch counter to change history. The apple did not fall from that evil family tree.
