An autobiography from national civil rights pioneer C.T. Vivian will be released March 16.
Raised in Macomb, Vivian began staging sit-ins against segregation in Peoria in the 1940s, successfully integrating Barton s Cafeteria a dozen years before lunch-counter protests by college students made national news.
Vivian, a close friend and lieutenant of Martin Luther King Jr., died at age 95 in Atlanta last year. We had to change the way the nation thought and felt and acted about its own humanity and the humanity of others, Vivian told the Journal Star about the civil rights movement as part of its Legacy Project series. This is far more than passing a law.

Itâs not that bottle-filling stations didnât exist before the coronavirus â they did.Â
But as traditional, touch-based water fountains were taped off to reduce the virusâ spread in schools, some school officials decided that any means of reducing the number of surfaces a student contacted was a hygienic measure worth taking.Â
