“ GREENSBORO LUNCH COUNTER, 1960 From the site of an important civil rights protest

Segregation in public places was still legal on February 1, 1960, when four African American college students deliberately sat down at this "whites only" lunch counter at an F. W. Woolworth store in Greensboro. When denied service and asked to leave, they remained in their seats. Over the next six months, hundreds of students and church and community members joined the protest. Their activism ultimately led to the desegregation of the lunch counter on July 25, 1960 "With their very bodies," civil rights leader James Farmer later said of the protestors "they obstructed the wheels of injustice."
