Fifty-six years ago, several members of the NAACP's youth council participated in a sit-in at a whites-only lunch counter and were later, who attacked them with ax handles and baseball bats.
The RNC has not released details on how they plan to host a large event during the pandemic, but initial plans indicated that temperature checks, social distancing, and sanitizing stations are among the precautions. Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers, a Democrat, said earlier this year that the Democratic National Committee will likely host a virtual convention amid the coronavirus pandemic.
"I want the Democratic convention to happen. But I also want to ensure that there isn't stress on the public health system, nor put the delegates and others that come to the convention in harm's way," Evers said."I would believe it's likely that it would be virtual but I want to look at the data before I do any recommendation.
