Eastern H.S. students march against integration: 1954

Police keep white students from Eastern High school on the move October 5, 1954 after they marched across the Key Bridge in an attempt to link up with Anacostia High students opposing integration.

An earlier march by Anacostia students had been halted by police at the Key Bridge.

The students and some of their parents staged a boycott for several days at Anacostia and were joined by students at three other high schools and several junior highs.

The most intense resistance took place at Anacostia where rallies of up to 1,000 students took place.

The District’s integration took place following the Supreme Court’s Bolling v. Sharpe decision in May 1954 that was brought about by the Consolidated Parents Group.

Consolidated represented parents and students living near the Anacostia River and led a seven year fight that began with a boycott of deplorable conditions at the all-Black Browne Junior High on Benning Road NE.
