A half-century ago, four young men from North Carolina A&T State University broke the color line by sitting down at the lunch counter at Greensboro’s F. W. Woolworth store and asking to be served. It became a landmark event in the Civil Rights Movement.
On Monday, the International Civil Rights Center & Museum opens on the same site.
Greensboro continues to make history.
