Counter Histories: Jackson, MS


The Southern Foodways Alliance presents Counter Histories, a series of short films documenting the struggle to desegregate southern restaurants in the Civil Rights Movement.

In this piece we hear from Colia Clark, Joan Trumpauer Mulholland, Bill Minor, Daphne Chamberlain and Reverend Ed King about the historic sit-in at the 1963 Woolworth’s lunch counter in Jackson, Mississippi.
