Sonja Duncan attended Morgan State University during the height of the Civil Rights era. On February 15, 1963, students from Morgan State began a sit-in at Northwood theater; one of the remaining white-only establishments near the university. Despite nearly 10 years of protest, the community had been unsuccessful in integrating the theater.
What started with a small group of students quickly led to a mass movement of peaceful protests. More than 400 students participated and were arrested for participating in the sit-in. Sonja Duncan was one of these students, and for nearly a week was held in jail. Their arrest led to nationwide media attention and ultimately pressured the theater to reverse its white-only policy in March of 1963. Sonja Duncan was an avid community member and supporter of Roberta’s House. Her niece, Dorenzer Thomas, is the Program Manager of Youth Services for Roberta’s House.
