Friendship Nine: The Friendship Nine, or Rock Hill Nine, was a group of African-American men who went to jail after staging a sit-in at a segregated McCrory's lunch counter in Rock Hill, South Carolina in 1961.  The group gained nationwide attention because they followed the 1960 Nashville sit-in strategy of "Jail, No Bail", which lessened the huge financial burden civil rights groups were facing as the sit-in movement spread across the South.  They became known as the Friendship Nine because eight of the nine men were students at Rock Hill's Friendship Junior College.

Nine Men: The council of Nine Men was a citizens board and a form of representational democracy in New Netherland.  It replaced the previous councils, the Twelve Men and the Eight Men.  Members of the council were elected in 1647, 1649, 1650 and 1652.  On July 26, 1649, eleven current and former members of the board signed the "Petition of the Commonality of New Netherland", which requested that the States General take action to encourage economic freedom and force local government like that in the Netherlands, removing the colony from the control of the Dutch West India Company.  It became the basis for the municipal government when the city of New Amsterdam received its charter in 1653.
