About this

The International Civil Rights Center and Museum, located in Greensboro, North Carolina, is a significant site dedicated to preserving and showcasing the history of the civil rights movement in the United States. Housed in the historic F.W. Woolworth building, it commemorates the courageous actions of the Greensboro Four, who initiated a sit-in at the store's segregated lunch counter in 1960. This pivotal event became a catalyst for nationwide efforts toward racial equality. The museum offers educational exhibits and archival collections that provide insight into the struggle for civil rights and the ongoing quest for social justice.
