WHAT:
Commissioner Rodney Ellis will join NAACP President Bishop James W. Dixon, Texas Southern University students and other community leaders to commemorate the 66th anniversary of TSU students’ historic march and sit-in at a nearby supermarket. The March 4,1960 event led to Houston’s desegregation.
On that day, 13 students marched from TSU to a nearby Weingarten’s Supermarket at 4110 Almeda Rd., now the site of a post office with a historical marker in front.
On Wednesday, after a brief program at TSU, Commissioner Ellis will lead the march from TSU’s Hannah Hall at 3100 Cleburne St. to the historical marker, where there will be a moment of silence.
