The International Civil Rights
Center & Museum is NOW OPEN!
On Feb. 1, 2010, the nation marked the 50th
anniversary of the sit-in movement with the
grand opening of the International Civil
Rights Center & Museum in Greensboro. The centerpiece of the
Museum is the historic lunch counter and the original stools where four
N.C. A&T freshmen (Ezell Blair Jr., Franklin McCain, David Richmond
and Joseph McNeil) sat down in nonviolent protest on Feb. 1, 1960, and
ignited the sit-in movement. The Museum is housed in the original 1929
F.W. Woolworth retail store in Downtown Greensboro. Visit Greensboro &
celebrate the brand new International Civil Rights Center & Museum!
