Description:

February 1, 2010 marked the 50th anniversary of America's landmark lunch-counter sits-ins and the opening of the International Civil Rights Center & Museum. The museum is located in the restored 1929 F. W. Woolworth building where four NCA&T students ignited the 1960 sit-in movement. The Museum houses an array of stunning archival exhibits, artifacts, and the original lunch counter in its original footprint at the 134 S. Elm St. facility. The Museum is delighted with the interest from the local community and visitors from across the country.
