A.C.R.E. -- Antioch Committee for Racial Equality

1964 Civil Rights Action

Antioch students joined with students from nearby Wilberforce and Central State College and SNCC to protest the segregated barbershop in Yellow Springs. The combined civil rights demonstration on March 14, 1964 closed the main highway through Yellow Springs. The demonstration followed months of repeated attempts to integrate the Gegner Barbershop and was the first major and violent demonstration of the SNCC Summer of '64.
