This editorial is trying to say that people were beginning to start the Civil Rights Movement. Most people were African Americans because they were the people who were most bothered by not having Civil Rights because they couldn't take the discrimination and segregation any more. This editorial is significant to this era because it is showing what people (African Americans) were doing to help people have Civil Rights including themselves. They brought attention to peoples eyes and some of the people helped the African Americans get Civil Rights. Most of the people were whites and the whites were the people who discriminated African Americans the most.
