WASHINGTON (AP) — Robert M. Bell was 16 when he recruited classmates to join a sit-in at a Baltimore restaurant. On June 17, 1960, the group entered Hooper’s restaurant. They pushed past a hostess and sat. Twelve demonstrators, including Bell, were charged with trespassing. Eventually, the case made its way to the U.S. Supreme Court.
