< ... in May 1963, Mulholland participated in the infamously violent Woolworths sit-in. Mulholland and fellow activists Anne Moody, a Black woman, and John Salter Jr., who had Native American roots, took a seat at Woolworths segregated lunch counter in Jackson, Mississippi. The surrounding crowd reacted with rage. For three hours, they attacked and berated Moody, Mulholland, and Salter. “I was attacked with fists, brass knuckles, and the broken portions of glass sugar containers, and was burned with cigarettes,” Salter recalled.
