Charleston, SC – Greensboro, NC
After spending several hours in the van today, we arrived in Greensboro. We saw the statue honoring the four students who began the sit-ins here at NCA&T University.
When we went downtown to see the original Woolworth’s site where the sit-ins took place, we ran into the director of the International CR Museum, a developing project that will be housed at the former Woolworth’s site. Students could see the actual lunch counter from the time and the in-progress construction of this CR museum. We made a quick stop at the Greensboro Historical Museum to see the sit-in exhibit, and then we headed to UNC-Greensboro to meet with two scholars, one studying MLK and one who focuses on school integration in Mississippi.
