Description:
This section of Scrapbook 1 includes the foreword, acknowledgments, and a chronology of the sit-ins at that serves as a table of contents for the rest of the scrapbook. An unidentified news clipping depicting the unveiling of a historic marker commemorating the sit-ins provides a frontispiece to the scrapbook.
