Have you seen the Woolworth lunch counter on display here at the museum? Beginning tomorrow, you'll find it in a new setting as part of our active learning space titled Unity Square.
On February 1, 1960, four African American college students sat down at this "whites only" lunch counter at the Woolworth's store in Greensboro, North Carolina, and politely asked for service. Their request was refused. When asked to leave, the students remained in their seats in protest.

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. Their commitment ultimately led to the desegregation of the lunch counter on July 25, 1960. Their peaceful sit-down was a watershed event in the struggle for civil rights and helped ignite a youth-led movement to challenge racial inequality throughout the South.

Beginning tomorrow, visitors will be able to catch interactive performances in front of the lunch counter. Exploring the intersection of race, civic activism, and religious inspiration, this program sets the stage for a conversation about how we all can shape the future of America.

We cut the ribbon on our new #TheNationWeBuildTogether wing at 11:30 a.m. tomorrow. Join us! See the link in our profile for celebration details: http://s.si.edu/June28Opening
