Oh, my, JR — what a fascinating place. 1956-57 was my senior year in HS — I don’t remember this incident, but during my Jr year in college, one of my friends was one of the white girls who made room for the black students at the Woolworth’s sit-in! They were all VERY brave students who were involved in that change in society!

They were Janet. I cried while I was going through the museum.

It’s a huge shame that the entire country is not aware of this incident, and of this museum! What a testament to this part of our history and the struggles that continue, even today! Thank you for sharing such a strong moment in your travels!

It is a shame. The struggle continues, but it often degrades into class warfare these days. smh

Perhaps to hide the real struggle — it’s easier to justify class warfare than racial warfare these days.

I don’t know Janet but hope and pray we can resolve these issues peacefully.

The world is a better place for them having been more fully educated.

I read the story, and am amazed at the historic event in 1956. I had never heard of this, and I am thankful that I learn about it here.

I had never heard of it either.
