Commemorating the 43rd anniversary of the growth of the modern U.S. student movement, which launched February 1, 1960 when four black students staged a sit-in at Woolworths in Greensboro, NC. Within ten days students in 15 Southern cities were participating in sit-ins against segregation and racism. These students would form the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) in April of 1960, setting the stage for the growth of the civil rights movement and student and youth organizing across the country for decades to come…Come meet veterans of SNCC and student and youth movements from the past 40 years.
