On Christmas Eve of 1961, 10 interracial members of Baltimore’s Civic Interest Group traveled to Crisfield, the home of Maryland Governor J. Millard Tawes, to protest racism. Most were college students: Angela Butler, William (Bill) Hansen, Reginald Robinson, Faith Holsaert, Bonnie Kilston, Diane Ostrosky, Margaret (Peggie) Dammond, Donnie Fleming, Frank McDougald, and David Williams. They led a sit-in at the City Restaurant, were refused service, then were arrested for trespassing and jailed in Princess Anne. Four were released on bail, but six refused to pay the $103.60 bail bond. During five days in jail, they fasted and sang and were encouraged and serenaded by students from nearby University of Maryland Eastern Shore. Their bail bondsman was Frederick St. Clair, cousin of Cambridge movement leader Gloria Richardson, and their lawyer was Juanita Jackson Mitchell of the Baltimore NAACP. A second protest on December 29 brought the original 10 students together with about 110 local residents; this time they were served at local restaurants and no one was arrested. The protests were reported nationwide. Years later, on March 29, 2004, during a visit to Salisbury University, Georgia Congressman John Lewis identified four of the original protesters because they had taken part in various protests together.
