INTERNATIONAL CIVIL RIGHTS CENTER AND MUSEUM

In time for Black History Month, the New York Times reports on the completion of a new International Civil Rights Center and Museum in Greensboro NC.

It is housed in the same Woolworth building where, in Feb of 1960, "...four 17-year-old freshmen at the all-black Agricultural and Technical College...sat down and ordered some food."
