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.
