Jail, No Bail

Horry County Museum 805 Main Street , Conway, South Carolina 29526
The 2023 Horry County Museum Documentary Film Series continues with Jail, No Bail, part of the Carolina Stories Series produced by SCETV.
On Jan. 31, 1961, black students from Friendship Junior College in Rock Hill walked into McCrory’s, sat at the lunch counter and ordered hamburgers and soft drinks. They were denied service and asked to leave. After refusing to leave, the students were arrested for trespassing and processed. This 30-minute program pays tribute to the 50th anniversary of the ‘Friendship Nine’ sit-in protest that inspired the Jail, No Bail Movement, a strategy which turned the tables on the establishment and reinvigorated the National Civil Rights Movement.
The film is free to the public and will be shown at 1 p.m., Wednesday, May 17, at the Horry County Museum, located at 805 Main Street in Conway.
The Horry County Museum Documentary Film Matinees will continue throughout 2023. For more information, call the Horry County Museum at (843) 915-5320 or e-mail hcgmuseum@horrycountysc.gov.
