In 1965, youth members of the Philadelphia branch of the NAACP rallied under the leadership of lawyer and civil rights activist Cecil B. Moore to join the fight to desegregate Girard College. Fifty years later, four members of the Cecil B. Moore Philadelphia Freedom Fighters, “Cecil's People,” recount their seven-month stand through story and song.
