Actors Kanysha Williams and Vaugh Ryan Midder spend a lot of time with this lunch counter, an iconic site in the Civil Rights Movement. Many times each week, they lead visitors in an interactive performance that transports everyone back to 1960. That year, four African American college students sat down at this "whites only" F. W. Woolworth counter in Greensboro, North Carolina, and politely asked for service. Their sit-in drew national attention and hundreds of students, civil rights organizations, church groups, and members of the community joined in the six-month-long protest. Together, they ignited a youth-led movement to challenge inequality throughout the South. Protests such as this led to the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which finally outlawed racial segregation in public accommodations.
If you're in the museum and hear singing, head over to Unity Square to participate in a performance and see this section of the original lunch counter. Kanysha and Vaugh raise their voices in song many times during the show, with visitors adding their voices, clapping along, and feeling first-hand the power of civic engagement. Their performance is a History Alive! Theater Program with The Smithsonian’s Discovery Theater.
