“This week, 60 yrs ago, students from
#WFU and
@wssu1892 joined Carl Matthews and students from
@simongatkinshighschool in a sit-in protest that would become one of the first legislative victories in the civil rights movement. A desegregation agreement was reached in a record 107 days.
Yesterday, we assembled a group of undergraduates from
#WSSU &
#WFU to visit the
@sitinmuseum and walk in the footsteps of the
#Greensboro4 and other student activists and to reflect on the legacies of leadership they left behind.” - Donovan Livingston,
#WFU Assistant Dean
