civil rights community. in the 1960's, it chapel hill was segregated. people could not go into stores. the school's were segregated. thingsie theaters -- all were segregated. this was a time when black people had to create their own community. in this particular community, they built their homes. they had stores, a business district. a had one school. they had churches that everyone attended. and it was a close-knit community. things rolling here was after the wayne's world sit in, there was a group of guys that got together and they decided they needed to do something here in chapel hill to make change happen. that is where this started. what made this movement different from those that were going on in other places was

that this was led by high school students. students got together, talked about it, and began to plan for citizens and marches and things of that nature. during the movement, they were subjected to name-calling, rockthrowing, muggles being poured on them which would require hospitalization. we are going to look at the photo collection. they were taken by jim wallis, a photographer that was able to take photographs during that movement and get into places where other people would probably not have been able to and then he gave the photographs to the jackson center. this is one of my favorites. it has a wonderful love story behind it. this was taken on franklin street. they were sitting across an intersection. you can see the different signs they are holding up. the gentleman on the far left is

-- and the woman on the far right is ruby. blacks and whites did not interact. but bruce was very much attracted to ruby. and so cometh he told ruby he wanted to date her and of course, ruby. he was out of his mind. but he pursued her. and they begin dating. the parents were not in favor of this interracial couple. they thought trouble was going to follow it. onethey continued to date another. the parents realized there was nothing they could do about it. and so bruce and ruby wound up getting married. it is a wonderful love story that survived and came out of a movement. sustained to past the movement. and this photograph is another special one. because this shows you how young some of the people were who were

actually marching and a part of the movement. -- this young girl and boy standing here in the front, they are actually the younger sister and brother of ruby who was in the first photograph sitting across the intersection on franklin street. and so when ruby would go out in the marches, their mother would tell them not to go out. their mother was mama cat. and she was amazing. she would tell them not to go out. but she said as soon as she would leave to go to work, ruby would go and she would take her younger brother and sister. this is another story about how the youth was very much part of the civil rights movement. this photo happened to take place on franklin street at colonial drug. it was a group of students doing

a sit in. i remember when i was doing a workshop and this particular photograph was on a powerpoint presentation and we were talking to a group of fourth graders. they did not know what a sit in was or what was happening. as we were showing best, one of the students gets up and says -- that is my grandmother. we were all like -- where, where? young ladyo the right next to the police officer. we were amazed. and he was so proud that day. as weacher was proud were. and i always thought about his grandmother and what she was doing there at that moment. and i always say -- i bet she was never thinking about her grandson being able to benefit from what she was doing then. and that her grandson would see a photograph of his grandmother taking change happened here in chapel hill. for me, just to continue to

remember. continue to tell the stories and not just push history under a rug or avoid talking about it. i believe we have to continue to talk about our past. without the past, you have no future. we have to remember our past. if we do not want to repeat it. you know? we have to think about the things that have happened. we have to continue to talk about what we can do differently and how we can be better. >> our cities tour staff recently traveled to chapel hill, north carolina to learn about its rich history. to watch more video from chapel hill, visit c-span.org/cities tour. you are watching american history tv, all weekend, every weekend, on c-span3. >> monday is martin luther king

jr. day. here is a clip from our archival film series, reel america. , senator russell and others have said the patterns of the past cannot be changed overnight. that whites cannot change their attitudes so fast as migos would like them to change them. how do you answer that statement? dr. king: i think we are dealing with two matters here. on the one hand, we are dealing with the problem of grappling with behavior and controlling behavior. on the other hand, we are dealing with changing attitudes. i quite agree that attitudes are not often changed overnight. and in this sense, it may be true that you cannot legislate morals. while it is true that morality legislated, we must

see the other side and that is that behavior can be regulated. the law may not change the heart, but it can restrain the heartless. immoral posture to hold the position that individuals, whether they be knee grows or members of other minority groups, could have -- should have their basic constitutional and god-given rights held up until some misguided individuals are able to change their attitudes. i think by changing the system it easier often make for people to change their attitudes. by bringing desegregation in to be income it will cause many people slow to change their attitudes to move to the point of changing their attitudes

easier than they would otherwise. history tv is on c-span3 every weekend and all of our programs are archived on our website at c-span.org/history. archivalatch lectures, films, taurus, and see our schedule about upcoming programs. >> good morning. volunteers here at the army heritage and education center in carlisle. we are going to talk about the american median tank, one of the most prolific tanks of the second world war. this particular example was one of the earlier versions. this one is armed
