Picket

Early this December, students at the University of Texas began protest picketing of the segregated ABC-Paramount movie theatre chain in Austin. The theatre pickets are spreading, and now some of the groups that co-ordinated last year's sit-in strikes in Atlanta are calling for a nation-wide movement. In Boston, EPIC will shortly organize pickets at Boston theatres belonging to the chain.

If this picketing is handled as well as last year's Woolworth demonstrations, it deserves generous support. Such non-violent, orderly demonstrations are a legitimate and--as the Woolworth successes show--useful weapon in the fight to extend social equality.
