On Feb. 23, 1960, a group of students from #WSSU were joined by students from Wake Forest to protest segregated lunch counters in Winston-Salem. The historic sit-in led to a desegregation agreement among local merchants in the city later that spring. A community commemoration vigil was held today in downtown Winston-Salem to mark the 60th anniversary of the sit-in. Twenty-one stools were set up to recognize the students who took part in the sit-in. Victor Johnson Jr. was in attendance and was honored. Johnson was one of the original 11 students at Winston-Salem Teachers College (now WSSU) who joined forces with the 10 #WFU students. #BlackHistoryMonth #wfubhm20 #wsnc #dtws #sitinmovement // 📸: @wakeforestphoto
