Description
Segment Description
In 1958, 20-year-old Ron Walters and his cousin, 19-year-old Carol Parks Hahn, decided something had to be done about the whites-only lunch counters in Wichita. Ron Walters and Carol Parks Hahn were leaders in the local NAACP Youth Council, and learned about ways to fight discrimination. Parks Hahn’s mother, Vivian, was secretary and treasurer of the local NAACP and frequently brought prominent figures to their home which helped motivate them to organize a sit-in at Dockum Drug Store. Carol Parks Hahn and Ron Walters share their story of the Dockum Sit-In.
