Skip Alston and Earl Jones hope to create a museum in Greensboro at the site of Woolsworth, where four black college students organized the first sit-in for civil rights in February 1960. The museum has been in the making since 1993 but has languished as a result of the two men's inability to command respect from the community, some critics say.

An outdoor exhibit/learning space is under construction, and long-range plans call for an Imax theater.
