It was never about a hot dog and a Coke®!
Welcome to the official website for Rodney L. Hurst Sr.'s newly published first book, "It was never about a hot dog and a Coke®!". This book is a personal account of the 1960 sit in demonstrations in Jacksonville, Florida and Ax Handle Saturday. Read more about Rodney Hurst..."A compelling look at the bloody events of August 27, 1960 and the history of the Civil Rights struggle in Jacksonville, Florida."
On August 27, 1960, more than 200 whites with ax handles and baseball bats attacked members of the Jacksonville Youth Council NAACP in downtown Jacksonville who were sitting in at white lunch counters protesting racism and segregation. Referred to as Ax Handle Saturday, in "It was never about a hot dog and a Coke©!" Rodney Hurst chronicles the racial and political climate of Jacksonville, Florida in the late fifties, the events leading up to that infamous day, and the aftermath.
