Description
This ten foot tall bronze monument commemorates the act that became the catalyst for sit-in demonstrations across the United States. On February 1, 1960 four black freshmen at North Carolins A&T State University--Franklin McCain, EZell Blair, Jr, (now Jibreel Khazan) Joseph McNeil and David Richmond requested service at the F.W. Woolworth lunch counter. They were joined later by many students from other cities and states who wanted to see the demise of "Jim Crow" segregationist practices. The statue sits in front of the Dudley Building on the A&T Campus.
