Cory Booker Instagram – These extraordinary men are courage personified. On the first day of February in 1960 they went to Woolworth’s in Greensboro, North Carolina and staged a sit in at the segregated lunch counter. At the time their refusal to leave when asked was a radical act of civil disobedience and a further inspiration for the growing Civil Rights movement. Theirs was a triumph of creative activism and brave sacrifice. They helped further inspire millions and further energize a movement.
Today may we confront the ugly parts of our history and honor those extraordinary Americans that helped us overcome giving us now a towering testimony to hope hewn from despair and freedom secured through struggle.
Our great story
Our great struggle
Our great nation
