Walters, Ronald

Great Plains Quarterly, v16 n2 p85-94 Spr 1996

A participant in the 1958 Wichita, Kansas, lunch counter sit-ins recounts the history of early Great Plains sit-ins and discusses how they were related to, if not the cause of, the more famous Greensboro, North Carolina, sit-ins. Discusses factors leading to the sit-ins, and the fact that black youth pioneered them. (TD)
