The November 17th 1967 Student Demostrations were crucial to the evolution of the treatment of African Americans in the education system in Philadelphia. During the demonstrations, the high school students of Philadelphia came together to peacefully protest for a common cause. The demonstrations were led by Walter Palmer.
On November 17th, 1967, thousands of African-American students in the Philadelphia school system walked out of their high schools and started on a journey towards the school district building.
