- Description:
- This letter from Helen Atkinson, of the Doylestown, PA Quaker Meeting was written to Beth Taylor to express her support of Taylor's participation in the recent sit-in demonstrations protesting segregation at the S&W Cafeteria in Greensboro. Taylor, a student at Guilford College was scheduled to stand trial following her arrest during the demonstration on charges of trespassing. Helen Atkinson expressed her hope that the trial would come to a "peaceful settlement based upon human love and brotherhood." This is one of many letters of support Taylor received from her home community following her arrest.
