It took a multiethnic student sit in movement in March of 1959 to desegregate Arundel Company’s ice cream parlors in Baltimore. What’s interesting is the fact that his happened almost a year before students North Carolina A & T started the student sit-in movement at Woolworth’s and S. H. Kress store lunch counters in Greensboro, North Carolina on February 1, 1960. I wondered if the students in Baltimore influenced the students in North Carolina? After all the Baltimore Afro American covered the event. From 1959 to the late 1960s.
