Weingarten’s sit-in anniversary on Wednesday

Wednesday is the 60th anniversary of Houston’s first sit-in to protest segregation. It happened at the Weingarten’s at 4110 Almeda Rd., where a US Post Office stands now.

I’m gathering some folks to sit outside at that address on Wednesday between 11am-2pm to tribute the TSU students who forced attention to desegregating Houston during the civil rights movement.

I’m not sure if there’s anything planned for this anniversary, but think this is an important part of Houston’s history and should be recognized.

Please join.
