The Marks Of a Sit-in
All was quiet . . . no one smiled
. . . few spoke . . . these were
the marks of the KU sit-in.
Seven police officers came in . . . no one moved . . . the officers offered an alternative — go home or to jail . . . seven went out . . . nine remained. . .
The student demonstrators sat quietly . . . "May I have a Coke?" one said . . . "I'm sorry but I can't serve you," was the reply . . . the juke box played on . . . the students sat . . . "May I have a Coke?" he asked again . . . "I can't serve you. You'll have to leave. I can't serve you" . . . no one moved . . . the police were summoned. . .
Police filled the three waiting patrol cars with those who had remained . . . they drove to the police station. . .
All was quiet . . . no one smiled
. . . few spoke . . . these were
the marks of the KU sit-in.
