Jack Moebes Following a call from Greensboro Record staff reporter Jo Spivey, Jack Moebes arrived at Woolworth just as its doors were being closed. A small crowd had gathered, but store manager C.L. Harris would not permit any pictures to be taken inside. When the “Greensboro Four” left by a side entrance, Moebes was able to get their photograph, the only one taken on the eventful day. Despite Moebes’ efforts, no photograph or even a mention of the sit-in was published in the next morning’s newspaper. Moebes worked for the Greensboro Daily News and The Record for 30 years starting in late 1946. He had attended Loyola University on a football scholarship and later earned a law degree from Cumberland University. A shortage of opportunities in the legal profession during the Depression prompted Moebes to pursue a career as a photographer. He served in the Air Force during World War II and would win awards from the North Carolina Press Association for both news and feature photography. A series of pictures he shot in 1957, when five black students enrolled in previously all-white Gillespie Park School in Greensboro, appeared in Life Magazine. Moebes died in Greensboro in August 2002.
