Sitting In, and On, History
Jonny is quite a bit more relaxed at this old Woolworth's lunch counter in Greensboro, N.C., than four freshmen from North Carolina A&T were on Feb. 1, 1960, when they slipped onto stools and asked to be served. The were arrested, of course, but their actions started the sit-ins at lunch counters and other nonviolent protests across the South in the 1960s. Amid a national uproar and local violence, Woolworth's desegregated this lunch counter a few months later. It is going to be part of a new civil rights museum.
