Examines the emergence of Radical African American Student Voices in the 1960s civil rights struggles. Focusing on personal stories of African American college students expelled or suspended from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) the work examines their vibrant Sit-In Movement activism that resulted in exposing the world to the nation’s complicity in endorsing the South’s archaic notions that black citizens had no rights that were equal to those enjoyed by Whites. The birth of the Southern Black Student Sit-In Movement eventually engaged thousands of students attending many of the South’s land-grant and private HBCUs, becoming the major vehicle for students en masse to demonstrate their opposition to the South’s deep-seated, racist Jim Crow laws.
Reviews
“Rosemari Mealy has written an invaluable book. It is about little people who do great things which ultimately benefit the society as a whole and move it further in a progressive direction…[her] study is both a unique and essential academic intervention and a socially responsible project that gets my unqualified endorsement and recommendation.”

“Dr. Mealy’s subject matter- that of the experience of individuals expelled from Historically Black Colleges / Universities for participation in civil rights activities in the years 1960-62 – is a huge contribution to the literature.”
-Professor Jeanette R. Davidson,
Director, African & African American Studies,
University of Oklahoma
Dr. Mealy’s research fills a gap in the literature and adds a new dimension to the Civil Rights Movement literature by writing a very powerful accounting of the times as seen on a first-hand basis through the eyes of some of those who actually were student movement participants.”
