I didn't know this name until I was reading an article a few days ago about them dismantling the lunch counter exhibit at the Smithsonian and it was mentioned, I knew the event, of course, but not the group name.
Bonus Fanny Fun Fact: DDE is from the same small-ish town in Kansas (Abilene) as my grandma. So some of his people married some of her people and I therefore have relative in the Eisenhower plot but, unlike some people, I am not related to them.
