Yesterday we visited Greensboro North Carolina, Where on February 2 1960, 4 college freshmen decided to sit down at a segregated lunch counter. This action taken by young men ignited the modern civil rights movement.
There is an International Civil Rights Center and Museum in Greensboro. They have preserved the original lunch counter and developed a place where people can learn the history of slavery,Jim Crow, and the non violent solutions that were successful in helping oppressed people. They did a very good job in demonstrating how horrific and institutionalized the violence was at that time.
I’d strongly recommend this museum and tour. By the time your done, is is as real as can be without having been there in those years.The people who lived through,struggled against and survived , are such a good example are real hero’s.
