Greensboro is very proud to be the birthplace of this sit-in movement, and the ICRCM (International civil Rights Center & Museum) does a superb job reminding the young and old in Greensboro and others around the country and the world why uniting together can bring significant change for the better. The museum, located inside the actual Woolsworth store where the famous sit-in took place in Greensboro, keeps educating the public on the Civil Rights movement and the importance of uniting for a just cause. The museum does this by using photographs, videos, artifacts, and more to inform people about the Greensboro sit-ins of 1960, including the one at Woolsworth, as well as introducing a variety of artists and athletes who broke racial barriers. The museum relates to the history of Greensboro significantly by being an interactive testament to a time when Greenboro was facing significant racial discrimination yet unprecedented social change, and it serves as a beacon of hope to look to when trying to prevent racially charged conflicts from happening in Greensboro today.
