The story doesn’t stop on February
1, 1960. The International Civil Rights Center & Museum carries
the story forward, depicting the life-altering events over the
next days, weeks and months of this non-violent protest. White
and black students alike are seen filling the lunch counter seats,
quietly sitting on lunch counter stools, while rioting crowds
made the evening news, protesting angrily against them, hurling
insults behind them and beside police. The sit-ins ended just
as abruptly as they started, a landmark in the nation’s
history.
And the story goes beyond Greensboro. Explore the day-to-day
events and milestones of the 1960’s at your own pace
to witness the events of the spring and summer of 1960, as
the movement spread throughout the south and across the nation
and the world.
