Greensboro Sit-In Anniversary - February 1, 1960
Commercial discrimination against blacks and other minorities 
provoked a nonviolent protest. At Greensboro, NC four students from 
the Agricultural and Technical College sat down at a Woolworth store 
lunch counter. Refused service, they sat all day. The protest spread 
rapidly. In response, equal accomodation regaardless of race became 
the rule. (Librarian's note: I have the honor of personally knowing 
one of students from this sit-in. Ezell Blair, Jr., now known as 
Jibreel Khazan lives in New Bedford, MA)
