John Dillinger

HISTORY IN A NUTSHELL SERIES

History In A Nutshell Shorts

John Herbert Dillinger is remembered as arguably the most infamous bank robber in American history. Dillinger’s crime spree across the Midwest lasted from June 1933 to July 1934. The FBI’s J. Edgar Hoover assigned South Carolina’s own “G-Man” Melvin Purvis to hunt down and put an end to Dillinger once and for all. Thanks to the efforts of Purvis’ FBI team and local law enforcement, Dillinger’s life of crime ended outside of Chicago’s Biograph Theater on July 22, 1934.

A group of nine African American young men who were sent to jail after staging a sit-in at a segregated McCrory's lunch counter in Rock Hill, South Carolina in 1961.

Documentary pays tribute to the “Friendship Nine,” a group of college students who were arrested for a lunch counter sit-in in Rock Hill, SC in 1961. Instead of paying bail (as was the norm with all previous sit-ins), they served 30 days of hard labor, making the city pay to house, feed & clothe them, thus turning the tables & drying up a dubious revenue stream. This movement caught on nationally, changing the entire sit-in strategy. The program was the centerpiece of 50th anniversary events, and still has legs today. It included extensive television, educational and community outreach initiatives.
