Under the direction of Juanita Craft, members of the NAACP Youth Council organized a picket on Negro Achievement Day at the State Fair of Texas in 1955. Despite the general manager's claims that the fair was "open to all," council members were frequently denied service or turned away. The Texas State Fair would not be fully desegregated until 1967. | Date: October 1955 | Source: https://www.thestoryoftexas.com/discover/artifacts/naacp-state-fair-spotlight-012315Download Original File
