Sixty years have passed since American Roslyn Pope came home from Europe to the southern United States. At the time, parts of the South still enforced segregation of the races. Blacks were required to live separately from whites. Concerned about injustice and angry, Pope sat down and wrote a document that became “An Appeal for Human Rights.” It was published on March 9, 1960. It announced the formation of the Atlanta Student Movement, whose campaign of civil disobedience helped end racist laws and policies across the South. After all this time, Roslyn Pope is still deeply worried that the rights she and others fought for are slowly disappearing. “We have to be careful. It’s not as if we can rest and think that all is well,” she told The Associated Press last week. The “Appeal” quickly became a civil rights call to action after it appeared as a full-page advertisement in Atlanta’s newspapers.
