How the #GreensboroFour Sat Down and Changed the World

Four Black students sat at a “whites only” lunch counter in 1960 and sparked the sit-in movement.

By Colin McEvoy

"On February 1, 1960, four Black men walked into the Woolworth’s general store in Greensboro, North Carolina, and changed the world.

"Ezell A. Blair Jr., Franklin McCain, Joseph McNeil, and David Richmond bought toothpaste, notebooks, and other small items at different counters in the store, saving the receipts to prove they were paying customers. Then, they each sat down at the store’s lunch counter, which was designated for 'whites only,' and tried to place their orders."
