Caption: Woolworth's Counter, 1960
Additional Description: During the Summer of 1960, local students staged this sit-in at the segregated lunch counter at F.W. Woolworth's. "We did not merely sit in to open counters to us. We helped to change attitudes, which in turn opened new opportunities and doors to us. We gained the courage to test the legality of many injustices...
