Hundreds of people lined Main Street in Rock Hill on Sunday afternoon for the Friendship Nine 50th anniversary re-enactment downtown. Here are stories from a few of them:
Hundreds of community members lined Main Street in downtown Rock Hill this afternoon to pay tribute to a protest that shaped the course of history in Rock Hill for the past 50 years. Students posed as the Friendship Nine and the city girls, marching peacefully and in prayer down the street as about 15 Friendship College students did 50 years ago.
