50th Anniversary of the Greensboro 4

During my time in the Radio-TV-Film department at Howard University, we used sound to document stories and capture experiences.

The "Greensboro 4" were groundbreaking civil rights leaders and African-American students at North Carolina A & T State University who decided to sit in at a FW Woolworth's, a segregated White lunch counter, on February 1st, 1960. Their actions helped birth what we know today as the Civil Rights Movement.

With other members of Howard University, I traveled down to Greensboro, NC to document the celebration. These are three pieces I wrote and produced for the occasion.
