On February 1, 1960, in Greensboro, North Carolina, four A&T freshmen, Ezell Blair, Jr. (Jibreel Khazan), Franklin

McCain, Joseph McNeil and David Richmond walked downtown and “sat-in” at the whites-only lunch counter at

Woolworth’s. They refused to leave when denied service and stayed until the store closed.

Chronology Of The Sit–InEvents that occurred as a result of this bold action by these four young men included:

• February 2, 1960 — 25 other students from A&T and other Greensboro colleges and universities joined them.

• During the next 10 days, students across the state participated in similar sit–ins.

• By the third week of February 1960, demonstrations had spread to at least 250 major cities and towns in the U.S. where over 400 demonstrations took place by the end of 1960.

• Woolworth’s was desegregated by the end of July 1960.

Jibreel Khazan recounts that “…on Sunday night, January 31, 1960, we decided we were going to request equal service for all Americans at F. W. Woolworth’s lunch counter on Monday, February 1, 1960.”

As a result of this movement, significant events in civil rights history occurred:

• The passage of the 1960 Civil rights Bill.

• The Interstate Commerce Commission ruling in September 1961 against racial segregation on interstate carriers and terminals.

• The first National Public Accommodations Act in 100 years (Khazan 2004).

The legacy of these four heroes proves the true potential and appeal of nonviolence. It was their protest that became the model and inspiration for later civil rights, anti-war and women’s liberations movements. These four young men forever changed the course of history with their bravery and courage.
