Burglund High School Walkout

On October 4, 1961, more than 100 students walked out of Burglund to protest the expulsion of Brenda Travis and other local injustices. When they knelt in prayer at City Hall, they were arrested. So were the SNCC staff (Bob Moses, Chuck McDew, and Bob Zellner) who later were charged with "contributing to the delinquency of minors," a serious felony.
