Abstract:

In 1960, four students at North Carolina A&T State University began a six-month long sit-in demonstration at F.W. Woolworth’s in Greensboro. This action defined the non-violent Civil Rights movement in North Carolina and has since been memorialized by architect Phil Freelon. Freelon designed the International Civil Rights Center & Museum around the Woolworth’s building in Greensboro and contributed to the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture.
