The Beginning of the Civil Rights Movement
Woolworths
Greensboro, NC
March 13, 2025
I was headed home from Florida when a roadside billboard caught my eye. The next exit would take me to the home of the original Woolworth's, home of the historic lunch counter that changed the history of our civil rights in the USA. I know this story and marvel at the courage of these young people.
I believe deeply in so many issues and I will protest, write letters to my legislators, send money, campaign for candidate who held my views on civil rights. But I am afraid of violence and would rater run than take a beating for standing up fro my beliefs. So, this movement, this unwavering courage has always captured my admiration.
It was 5:30PM when I arrived at the museum which closed at 6PM. That didn't give me much time. But that didn't matter to me. I just wanted to stand, in silence and admiration, at this place where courageous men and women once stood..
