GREENSBORO â Newspaper photographer Jack Moebes captured the first image of the Greensboro Four, striding down the sidewalk outside the Woolworth store on the first day of the 1960 sit-ins.
His iconic photo from the civil rights protest has appeared in textbooks, documentaries, websites, murals, the Smithsonian, International Civil Rights Center & Museum and several times on the TV quiz show "Jeopardy." It also inspired the February One Monument, a larger-than-life bronze representation of the four N.C. A&T freshmen.
Scott Dinsmore from Operation Understanding-DC helped lead a group of students taking in sights from local civil rights sites, including the future International Civil Rights Center and Museum, in 2005 in Greensboro.
