On July 25, 1960, after six months of sit ins, the Woolworth's lunch counter in Greensboro, NC, was desegregated. This photograph from a student newspaper shows protesters sitting in at the counter early in the movement. The protesters didn't just change Greensboro, they changed the nation.

Jibreel Khazan remembered his collar feeling tighter around his neck and his temperature rise as he, Joseph McNeil, Franklin McCain, and David Richmond approached the Woolworth lunch counter in Greensboro, North Carolina on February 1, 1960. The Greensboro Four began the sit in and for the six months that followed, hundreds of students, civil rights organizations, churches, and members of the community joined the protest and boycotted the store.

The Greensboro sit in inspired others across the country, involving young activists like John Lewis and Diane Nash. It was a watershed event in the struggle for civil rights and helped ignite a youth-led movement to challenge racial inequality. Julian Bond often said that, “the Civil Rights Movement for me began on February 4,” when he heard about the Greensboro Four. Click the link in our bio to learn more.
