On this day in 1960, four African American college students—Franklin E. McCain, Joseph A. McNeil, Ezell A. Blair Jr. (now Jibreel Khazan), and David L. Richmond—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, and 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 F.W. Woolworth 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.
This section of the Greensboro Woolworth's lunch counter stands at the heart of Unity Square, an interactive program space in the museum's new wing. Throughout the week, visitors are invited to explore this critical moment in American history through an interactive play, "The Nation We Build Together." Through discussion and song, costumed interpreters transport visitors to a nonviolent protest training session set a few weeks after the original sit-in. Exploring the intersection of race, civic activism, and religious inspiration, the play sets the stage for a conversation about how we all can shape the future of America.
