Candie
was in Nashville, Tennessee, in the Spring of 1960,
as an exchange student at Fisk University.
Nashville
was the home of non-violent training workshops led by
James Lawson.
Its
participants would become some of the key leadership
for the sit-ins and the freedom rides.
Here
Cordell Reagon teaches non-violent resistance to harassment
or attack.
Sit-ins
spread like wildfire across the south in the Spring
of 1960.
