Police raid and mass arrests
The Quorum was raided by police during a period of segregationist harassment. Seventy-three people were arrested, reportedly under charges that included playing guitars out of tune. The event became the defining controversy associated with the coffee house and reflected the hostility directed at its interracial and culturally unconventional environment.
