Americus movement

Quiz 1 Americus movement

The Americus movement was a civil rights protest that began in Americus (located in
Sumter County), Georgia, United States, in 1963 and lasted until 1965. It was organized by
the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee along with the NAACP. Its main goals were
voter registration and a citizenship education plan.

== First protests ==
The first march began in 1963, in an effort to desegregate the Martin Theater. Less than a
dozen activists participated in the first march. Soon, some 250 people were involved. Law
enforcement, led by police chief Ross Chambliss, and County Sheriff Fred Chappell began
arresting many. Martin Luther King Jr. once called Chappell "the meanest man in the world."

== Leesburg Stockade ==

In July of 1963, another march was held, in which a group of young women joined the line to
attempt to purchase tickets at the movie theater, and were arrested for doing so. After being
held briefly in Dawson, Georgia, the protesters were moved to the Leesburg Stockade Public
Works Building in Leesburg, where they were held for 45 days in poor conditions. Estimates
of the number of young women who were held there range from 15 to about 30
or as many as 33.
