1960 Activist Arlington Civil Rights Counter Demonstrator Diamond Howard University Lunch Pointing Protest Protester Student Tee Nager Virginia White Dion


EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful print from 1960, we see Dion Diamond, a courageous civil rights activist and student at Howard University in Washington, D. C. , surrounded by a group of white youths during a sit-in demonstration at a drug store in Arlington, Virginia. The image captures the tension and defiance of the era as Diamond stands resolute amidst the hostility. As he sits at the lunch counter, his presence challenges societal norms and demands equal treatment for African Americans. Surrounding him are young white individuals who may represent both opposition to racial integration and curiosity towards this audacious act of protest. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the bravery exhibited by activists like Dion Diamond during one of America's most turbulent periods. It symbolizes their unwavering commitment to justice and equality despite facing violence, discrimination, and social ostracization. Diamond's affiliation with Howard University highlights the pivotal role that educational institutions played in fostering activism among young people. By participating in sit-ins across North America, these students sought to dismantle segregationist policies that denied African Americans their basic human rights. This image is part of Granger Art on Demand's Carousel Collection—a collection that preserves historical moments through photography. It encapsulates an important chapter in American history while reminding us how far we have come on our journey toward racial equality.
