A page from a letter dated March 20, 1960 written from Patricia and Priscilla Stephens to their parents during the sisters’ time in the Leon County Jail. They ultimately served forty-nine days in jail for participating in a sit-in protest of segregated lunch-counters in Tallahassee. In this letter, the Stephens sisters describe their motivations for participating in non-violent resistance. “We cannot be contented with the conditions here in the south any longer. Our souls are being taken from us by discrimination,” they penned to their parents from inside the jail. Courtesy State Archives of Florida.
