Temptation is our greatest weakness, and determination is our greatest strength. The ability to persevere through the toughest times by analyzing the faults of our darkest past combined with the knowledge of the present to create a brighter future. The ability to turn failure into success in the name of mankind. An unstoppable force we become when we set aside differences, to look at the big picture...
On Feb. 1, 1960 four black freshmen at North Carolina A&T State University, Franklin McCain, Joseph McNeil, Ezell Blair, Jr., and David Richmond, took seats at the segregated lunch counter of F. W. Woolworth’s in Greensboro, N.C. They were refused service and sat peacefully until the store closed. They returned the next day, along with about 25 other students, and their requests were again denied. The Greensboro Four inspired similar sit-ins across the state and by the end of February, such protests were taking place across the South. Finally in July, Woolworth’s integrated all of its stores. The four have become icons of the civil rights movement.
