On February 1st, 1960, David Richmond, Franklin McCain, Ezell Blair Jr., and Joseph McNeil, young students of the local HBCUNC A&T State University, took seats at the lunch counter in downtown Woolworth in Greensboro, NC.  After Woolworth staff refused them service, these ambitious and strategic young activists, now known as the Greensboro 4, rally support from students, faculty, family, friends, and the local and national civil rights community to initiate the first ever sit in movement.
