A new mural will be painted at Girard College in North Philadelphia, honoring the students who fought to desegregate it in 1965.
This historic protest was the longest sustained civil rights action in Philadelphia history, lasting seven months and 17 days, led by lawyer and activist Cecil B. Moore.
However the mural will not be honoring the leader of the protest, rather the teenagers who carried it out.
“When Cecil B. Moore put the call out that the walls were going to come tumbling down, many of us had never been involved with the civil rights movement,” remembered Karen Asper Jordan, who was just 16 at the time. “He used to call us his ‘young militants.’”
