The museum’s centerpiece, the original F.W Woolworth lunch counter, tells the story of the Greensboro Four, students who dared to sit and be served where blacks weren’t allowed, fifty years ago. The 50th Anniversary Gala, held last weekend in Greensboro at the Joseph S. Kourey Convention Center, honored these four courageous men in a celebration where over 1,000 diverse supporters attended. Franklin McCain, Joseph McNeil, the late David Richmond and Ezell Blair, renamed Jibreel Khazan, ignited the civil rights movement’s form of sit-ins. The museum officially opened February 1st, coinciding with the day of defiance, but the gala was postponed due to inclement weather conditions. “This is a metamorphosis; the gala tonight would’ve been a crime, just 50 years ago. These are persons who moved to right these wrongs. There were so many atrocities all over the country. These guys gave me the courage to run for mayor,” said Dr. James Johnson, sit-in participant and ICRCM board member.

The warriors, who struggled and fought to show that everyone should be equal, should be remembered and honored. The Walk has been made possible by embedding the footprints of role models during the Civil Rights. Mahatma “Great Soul” Gandhi had the same idea as Martin Luther King Jr. They both shared the gift of nonviolence to others. The Gandhi statue is memorable because Mahatma gave his life, organized, and stimulated 400 million people for Independence.

SUBSCRIBE By IT Blog Comments (1) Today marks the start of Black History Month, and the opening of a new civil rights museum in North Carolina. Alison Brick has the details. Fifty years ago today, four African-American men, freshmen at the Agricultural and Technical College of North Carolina, changed history by sitting down at a Woolworth's whites-only lunch counter in Greensboro, North Carolina. Their actions inspired sit-ins across the country and galvanized the civil rights movement. So it's appropriate todaythe start of Black History Month that Greensboro is opening up the at the same location. The new museum focuses on the story of the Greensboro Four, as the men came to be known, but it also documents other achievements of the civil rights movement. An archival center, collecting museum, and teaching facility, it's home to educational exhibits, a gallery, an auditorium, and the proposed Joint Center for the Study of Human Rights. The original Woolworth's stools and a section of the lunch counter are there on display (another section of counter went to the Smithsonian National Museum of American History ); so is a bus seat signed by Rosa Parks, an authentic wooden slave auction sign, and the Green Bookthe 1950s travel directive that identified 'safe houses' and establishments that would serve African Americans.

February One HOME THE GREENSBORO FOUR FILM SCREENINGS PRESS ... Official Selection Key West Indie Fest The International Civil Rights Center and Museum The International Civil Rights Center and Museum is located at the old Woolworth building in downtown Greensboro, North Carolina. This is the exact site where the historic lunch counter sit-ins took place from February 1 through July 26 in 1960. There are very few places where you can go and experience real history but at this old five and dime store, that is being converted into an education center and museum, you can sit at the actual stools where the four young men sat. Plans are underway to preserve as much as possible of the original counter. There are already four stools and a piece of the counter on permanent display at the Smithsonian Museum of American History in Washington D.C. as well as the Greensboro Historic Museum. A Brief History of how the museum came to be: An annual International Civil Rights Museum banquet helped the organization raise $2.2 million over an eight-year period. Honored guests at the banquet have included Rosa Parks, Nelson Mandela, Rev. Jesse L. Jackson, Jr., the Martin Luther King Family, Maya Lou Angelou, U.S. Congressman John Lewis, Vernon Jordan, Julius Chambers, Dr. John Hope Franklin, Justice Robert L. Carter and U.S. Congresswoman Maxine Waters. Proposed Blueprints: At present, four final construction plans are being considered. The layout presented here is an early rendition and is not necessarily indicative of the final plan.
