Images from the Civil Rights Movement in the U.S. in 1964

In Focus, the photography blog at The Atlantic, is running a five part series of images from 1964 -- 50 years prior to the date of the posts.  The second set is a particularly moving series of images from the U.S. civil rights movement -- I hadn't seen most of them before.  Here are two from June 1964 in St. Augustine, Florida, a city that saw a lot of protests -- and violence -- arising from its laws mandating racial segregation
