Greensboro Sit-In 1960: One Coffee Cost Her Everything

Описание: Greensboro Sit-In (1960) at Woolworth’s lunch counter sparked the Civil Rights Movement in America.
This emotional story shows how one cup of coffee became an act of courage during segregation and Jim Crow.

On February 1, 1960, four Black college students—later known as the Greensboro Four—sat down at a “whites-only” Woolworth’s lunch counter in Greensboro, North Carolina, and politely asked to be served. They were refused. But they did not leave.

This video tells a powerful documentary-style story inspired by the Greensboro sit-ins, the rise of nonviolent protest, and the ordinary people whose small choices helped change American history.

Important note: The character “Geneva” is a representative/composite figure based on real accounts of unnamed workers and allies. The historical event—the Greensboro sit-ins and Woolworth’s lunch counter protests—is real.

Question for you: If you were there in 1960… would you have served that cup of coffee?
