Did you know that a year and a half before the NC sit-ins, civil rights activists in Oklahoma City were having sit-ins at lunch counters?http://theatlantic.tumblr.com/post/6383077021/claraluper …

American History Museum added a portion of the Greensboro lunch counter to its collection after the Woolworth store shut down. Today, it's on display as one of Museum's landmark objects.

Visited the site & saw the counter on a trip to NC a few years ago. These were brave young men who probably could not envision the new struggles & the many changes they helped give rise to. Heroes, they are, each & every one!

Everyone should know who Dion Diamond is. Especially in a time when we like to call each other Nazis. See the man talking down to him in this picture? That’s George Rockwell. He was the leader of the Nazis in America. That man could make you disappear. Dions bravery is legendarypic.twitter.com/DYzOWjm4ph

No one will understand how brave they were. When I see things like this it makes me ashamed to be an American. To see how we treated our fellow citizens.

Visited
@Ctr4CHR last year and sat at the lunch counter simulation exhibit. It was terrifying. So in awe of those who risked so much to work for change.

They could have died that day and knew it. Still they prevailed. Deep, deep respect.

SICKENING. I saw a WHITES ONLY sign once as an 8 year old and went up to the manager and told him the sign was stupid. Naturally my father grabbed me back in the car and we left Vicksburg fast. Never went back to Mississippi, ever.
