International Civil Rights Center and Museum
International Civil Rights Center and Museum, Civil rights history museum in Greensboro, United States
The International Civil Rights Center occupies the former Woolworth building with 30,000 square feet of exhibits about racial equality and social justice.
Four African American students from North Carolina A&T State University ignited nationwide protests by sitting at this whites-only lunch counter in February 1960.
The museum preserves original artifacts and documents from the civil rights movement, including the authentic lunch counter where the Greensboro sit-ins occurred.
Tours are available Tuesday through Sunday, with adult admission starting at 15 dollars for a 90-minute guided experience through the exhibition galleries.
Visitors can see the exact dormitory room furniture where the four students planned their protest, preserved as a testament to their courage.
