The F. W. Woolworth's Lunch Counter
This restored, original lunch counter, preserved in its historic location, represents an inflection point both for the revitalization of the Civil Rights Movement and the conversation of personal and social equity in America.
Presenting: The A&T Four
On February 1, 1960, David Richmond, Frank McCain, Ezell Blair, Jr. (now Jibreel Khazan), and Joseph McNeil, now known as the A&T Four — four college freshmen who attended N.C. Agricultural & Technical College — conducted a sit-in at a whites-only lunch counter in Greensboro. Their non-violent direct action challenged America to make good on its promises of equality and civic inclusion enunciated in the Constitution.
