Racial segregation was still legal in the United States on February 1, 1960,
Courageous African American Freshman college students Jibreel Khazan,
Franklin E. McCain, Joseph A. McNeil, and David L. Richmond at the North
Carolina Agricultural and Technical College when they began their protest.
They sat down at the Woolworth counter in Greensboro, North Carolina.
Asking for service at this “whites only” counter, their request was refused.
This protest led to the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which finally
outlawed racial segregation in public accommodations.
