  SYNOPSIS 

  In 1960, four African American males, freshman at North Carolina A&T University took a stand for their dignity and civil rights.  They staged a sit-in at the white only lunch counter of the Woolworth's in downtown Greensboro, North Carolina, after the store refused to serve them. This historical incident inspired similar student movements across the South, helping to abolish segregation at eating establishments. These four young men are considered pioneers who reignited a stalled Civil Rights Movement and inspired young people across the country to get involved in the movement.
