The next episode of Eyes on the Prize we will be watching, "Ain't Scared of Your Jails", documents the lunch counter sit-ins -- in which African American students sat at "whites-only" lunch counters and refused to leave, as an attempt to challenge segregation in public places. One participant has posted a few pictures of a famous sit-in on his website, with some brief commentary. (There are two pages of photos/commentary - once you have finished with the first page, look for a link near the bottom right marked "Continue", which will take you the second page of photos.)
