- Questions:
1. What were some other events in the Civil Rights Movement that were accomplished by group action?
2. What issue would you stand up for in the same way the Tougaloo Nine did?
3. What are similar forms of protest that you see today?
-----
On March 27, 1961, nine Tougaloo College students-Meredith Anding Jr., James Bradford, Alfred Cook, Geraldine Edwards, Janice Jackson, Joseph Jackson Jr., Albert Lassiter, Gloria Pierce, and Ethel Sawyer-held a sit-in at the Jackson Municipal Library. The Tougaloo Nine were members of the Tougaloo College NAACP Youth Council.
The Mississippi Civil Rights Museum, which opened alongside the Museum of Mississippi History in 2017, explores the period from 1945 to 1976, when Mississippi was ground zero for the Civil Rights Movement nationally. The museum features an exhibit about the Tougaloo Nine in “A Tremor in the Iceberg” gallery.

Great presentation
Mr. Jerry W. Keahey, Sr., a senior Chemistry major at Tougaloo College and a member of the student group that integrated the library in Jackson, MS. He served in several roles on this day in May, 1961. First, he photographed the picture of the Tougaloo Nine featured in this video. Secondly, he drove the nine students from Tougaloo College to the library in Jackson. Next, he was the scout, who monitored their actions as they entered the library. Finally, from the site, he telephoned the President of Tougaloo College and informed of these events. In 2019, he donated his camera to the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum/Two Mississippi Museums to be showcased in this exhibit.
