These meetings aro held to sup¬ port the bpycOtt of -tores <m Broughton Street and to support the student* who have been arrest¬ ed for sit-ins. The boycott of stores on Broughton commenced when w'hilc merchant* had young Negro students arrested for ask¬ ing for food services in their stores. Why would young Negroes seek food services In white stores? The bent answer to thi* question comes from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who .said “tlio sit-in movement pro¬ vide* an eternal refutation to the idea that Negioca in the South are satisfied with segregated facili¬ ties.” As thn 3,000 Negroes assembled Sunday they were concerned about the convictions of the 33 young students who dared to ask for ■ervire gt, white lunch counters in variety and Five and Ten G ut. stoles of Savannah. They were, disturbed by the fact, that Savan¬ nah poljcg u.xhd th* city’s new anti- picketing ordinance for the first time on Saturday in' order to ar¬ rest two Negroes, Julius B.
