February 1, 1960 | The Greensboro Sit-Ins
We know one person can make a difference in the world, imagine what four can do when united in purpose and commitment to make a change. On February 1, 1960, four young North Carolina A & T State University students (Ezell Blair, Jr., Franklin McCain, Joseph McNeil and David Richmond) walked a few blocks from the campus downtown to Woolworth’s Department Store in Greensboro, North Carolina for the changing of history.
