Robert McCullough, Rock Hill
civil rights leader, dies at age 64
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ROCK HILL, S.C.-Robert
McCullough, the leader of a
group of Rock HUl students
who served 30 days in jail for
sitting at a whites-only lunch
coimter during tlie civil rights
movement, died Monday
A cause of death was not
given, Robinson Ftineral
Home spokesman Samuel
Reid said. McCullou^ was
64.
McCullough, along with
eight other black students
from Friendship Junior Col
lege, used the ‘jail, no bail”
technique in 1961 after they
were arrested. Given the
option of paying a $100 fine or
jail time, the stud^ts—called
the Friendship Nine—chose
to serve hard labor on a chain
gar^ rather than pay the fine,
gaining widespread media
attention.
McCullough, who was
selected as the group’s leader,
chose to sit at a whites-only
lunch counter in downtown
Rock HUl. The men demanded
service, were arrested and
chained with trespassing and
breach of peace.
McCullough “did all the
detail work and made sure
everything was in place,” said
David Williamson, a group
member. “He was like oxir
teacher.”
Another member of the
group saj^ initially he
thought McCullough was
crazy but eventually the
leader made bim reahze
change was needed.
“I could have eaten any
where I wanted it,” Thomas
“Dub” Massey said. “I didn’t
have to sit on that white stool
in that white dime store.”
But Massey, then 18, says
McCuUou^ helped him
ognize what was happening
at the lunch counters was
wror^.
“After talking to Robert, I
felt like I needed to be
involved and be part of the
change. He said, ‘It’s not just
about you, Dub. This is for all
cfbumanity”’

J.M. Little, Teacher
Dear Friends:
We praise the Lord we can greet you again in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Salvation in Christ is the greatest thing that can happen to a sinner in this life. It
is not going to happen to but a few in the closing days. I would you knew the
greatness and joy of knowing Christ as your Lord and your Saviour. The
beloved Apostle Paul was the greatest representative the Lord ever had on
earth. And he said in I Cor. 2:2: “For I determined not to know any thing among
you, save Jesus Christ, and Him crucified." Let me ask you the personal
question: "DO YOU KNOW THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AND HIM
CRUCIFIED?" I do. You will respond: “I guess so. I accepted Jesus back there
when I was young and joined the church." That is not what I am asking you,
friend. I want to know if you know the Lord Jesus Christ as your Lord and your
Saviour. Your response is a dead giveaway that you know not the Lord Jesus
Christ. Note that Paul said: "....and Him crucified." Has the Crucified Christ been
revealed to your heart? When the Holy Spirit opens a sinner’s heart to deal with
that sinner for salvation, the Holy Spirit shows you, sinner, that you crucified
Christ! Have you ever seen that it was you that crucified Christ? if not, you are
not saved! Read about it over there in Zech. 12:10.
"Helping persons to realize Cod’s creative intent for his or her
life as designed by God’s Word in the areas of evangelism,
worship, discipleship, ministry and fellowship.”
