This sit-ins documentary explains how four Black students in North Carolina, the Greensboro Four, started a civil rights protest movement that dismantled segregation at lunch counters across the South.
In this video, we explore the sites the racist policies were upended by David Richmond, Franklin McCain, Ezell A. Blair, Jr. and Joseph McNeil, AKA the Greensboro 4. We also take you to Nashville, Tennessee, where similar protests were conducted by icons like John Lewis, Diane Nash and James Lawson. And we cover the aftermath of the desegregation of department stores like Kress and the FW Woolworth Company, as well as the impact the integration process had on the civil rights movement.
Our civil rights documentary is made for everyone - history buffs, students of AP African American Studies, teachers, curious adults - and can be consumed at any time, from Black History Month to Martin Luther King Jr. Day and any other day in between.
