Richmond 34
The Richmond 34 refers to a group of Virginia Union University students who participated in a nonviolent sit in at the lunch counter of Thalhimers department store in downtown Richmond, Virginia.
The event was one of many sit-ins to occur throughout the civil rights movement in the 1960s and was essential to helping desegregate the city of Richmond.
==Background==
Like many cities in the early 1960s, downtown Richmond was segregated. In department stores African Americans were allowed to buy clothes, but were not allowed to try them on or return them. The lunch counters at these department stores were either segregated or they simply did not serve African Americans at all.
Inspired by the Greensboro sit-ins and Martin Luther King Jr., who had given a talk at Virginia Union University, students planned to hold nonviolent sit-in at department stores in downtown Richmond.〔The Barriers they Broke〕
