Civil rights activists take part in a sit-in at Woolworth's on Canal Street. Just days later, another group of students, "the CORE Four," sat quietly but resolutely at McCrory's Five-and-Dime nearby. Rudy Lombard, Oretha Castle, Cecil W. Carter, Jr., and Sydney Goldfinch, Jr. were charged and convicted under Louisiana criminal mischief laws. The students appealed their convictions to the U.S. Supreme Court, and on May 20, 1963, the high court overturned their arrests.
