October 2010 - International Civil Rights Center and Museum
On Tuesday, October 28, 2010, thirty-two (32) students from the 3MP program traveled to Greensboro, NC to visit the International Civil Rights Center and Museum as a part of our ACA 111/120 and PSY 150 cohort. On February 1, 2010, the two story building and the original sign saying “F.W. Woolworth Co.” became the home of the International Civil Rights Center and Museum. This building piloted the greatest political movement of the 20th century 50 years ago. The museum is an archival center, collecting museum and teaching facility devoted to the international struggle for civil and human rights. The Museum celebrates the nonviolent protests of the 1960 Greensboro sit-ins that served as a catalyst in the civil rights movement. The tour is about 1.5 hours and it is guides you through a montage of educational exhibits, period artifacts, and state of the art technology about the struggles and challenges African Americans had to face for equal rights. The centerpiece of the museum is the historic lunch counter with the original stools, where the NC A&T Greensboro 4 sat down in nonviolent protest on February 1, 1960. Some of the other highlights of the museum is the “Hall of Shame,” who showed the violent times during the transition of slavery to “Jim Crow” to civil rights activism and the various authentic artifacts from the civil rights movement. Our students gained a wealth of knowledge about the struggles and achievements during the civil rights museum. For information about the International Civil Rights Museum, click on Sit in movement.
