GREENSBORO
In 1960, four men students gathered at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical college, a traditional black college. The four, all African-Americans, decided to walk to downtown Greensboro and "sit-in" at the segregated lunch counter at the Woolworth's 5&10 Cents store. |

This brick and bronze monument, located in the center of the campus, commemorates the birth of the college Sit-In Movement at North Carolina A and T. |
| The Woolworth store refused to serve the
four African-American students.
The student body at North Carolina A and T joined the sit-in demonstration. |

The "Greensboro Four" were Ezell
Blair, Jr., Joseph McNeil, Franklin McCain, and David Richmond.
Ezell Blair, Jr., later changed his name to Jibreel Khazan. |
