Description: When five Black college students sat on a segregated Maryland carousel in 1960, their arrests made headlines. When the Jewish community near Glen Echo Amusement Park joined the protest, a history-making interracial demonstration was born. The cause and the collaboration provoked counterprotests by the American Nazi Party and brought congressmen and national leaders to the picket line.
