- Reporter Lee Reuf delivering report on situation. Reuf discusses past "six weeks of racial protest." Sunday, June 9, 1963, marked the beginning of six weeks of racial protests. Racial tensions in city are high. Ten-point integration plan, calls for formation of biracial committee, better jobs, and desegregation of hotels, motels, and restaurants. State Troopers were sent in to patrol city after a brick-throwing incident. Reuf relays reports that clashes have only occurred between demonstrators and police. White Charlestonians concerned about settling differences and resent demands, saying black and white people have lived and worked side by side for years. Night marches called off.
