Stand For Justice series, episode #CR2-08

Theme: Quiet Courage & Dignity

"A quiet kind of courage pushed back with all its might." When Hamilton Holmes and Charlayne Hunter stepped onto the UGA campus in 1961, they were met with a thousand angry voices and a violent riot. Yet, they refused to yield. This story explores how their faith in the law and their own dignity broke the state's grip on segregation, proving that the loudest voices do not always have the final say.
