the politically and racially charged atmosphere of the 1960s, The Quorum coffee
house created a successful model for multicultural exchange. Opened in 1963 to
persons from all racial backgrounds, The Quorum became a frequent target of segregationist

to jail and accusing them of things like 'playing guitars out of tune'."
