Summary

"The year 1960 was a turning point in the civil rights movement as young Black women and men became peaceful warriors for change. In February, four Black college students known as the Greensboro Four were refused service at a lunch counter in North Carolina ... Desegregation would create a crisis of law and order throughout the South as the decade continued." --, Provided by publisher
