1963 film clip of a St. Louis CORE demonstration
St. Louis CORE
This is a 1963 film clip of St. Louis CORE in action from the documentary "White Northeners Confronted With Negroes". The issue was employment, specifically getting Blacks hired at local banks. It is an excellent clip because it gives a real sense of how a CORE demonstration went down and the resistance it would have gone up against.
