On this day 63 years ago, Jibreel Khazan, David Richmond, Franklin McCain, and Joseph McNeil, decided to fight for their rights as black men at F.W. Woolworth which had a whites-only lunch counter in Greensboro, North Carolina. These four men walked in, sat at the bar, and refused to leave after they were denied service. Over the next six months, this would become one of the most influential acts in the Civil Rights Movement.
