- Description:
- In this February 2, 1980 Greensboro Daily News article, Kenneth Campbell reports on events held to commemorate the twentieth anniversary of the 1960 sit-ins at the Greensboro Woolworth store. The article begins with an account of a breakfast held at the Woolworth's lunch counter where Jibreel Khazan (Ezell Blair, Jr.), David Richmond, Joseph McNeil, and Franklin McCain protested the store's segregation policies in 1960. As a part of the day's events, the four were given awards from North Carolina A&T State University, a North Carolina historical marker was placed on the corner of Elm Street and Friendly Avenue to mark the site of the sit-ins, and a marker was placed inside the Woolworth store. At a convocation, the four made it clear that credit for the success of the protests belongs to a lot of people. Khazan credited several African American leaders, including A&T's Dr. Warmouth Gibbs and Dr. Samuel Proctor. At a lunch the four discussed the importance of continuing the fight for equality. This article was clipped and saved in a scrapbook about the twentieth anniversary of the 1960 lunch counter sit-ins by Clarence "Curly" Harris, manager of the Greensboro Woolworth store at the time of the sit-ins.
