I felt my temperature increase. I could feel my sweat coming off the side of my face. I didnt have to ask joe what he was thinking. We looked at each other and of bus looked at the counter at the same time. We just started to walk toward the counter. Without a single word. That is how it happened. Chair nadler host traci parker joins us now for a discussion about the lunch counter sitins of 1960.

That your parents drove you to the college here in fall of 1957 . Yes, they did. What did you discover here . It was a big day for me. For the whole community. I came from something. I didnt just show up. I came being supported by the whole community. They prayed for me at church. They gave me a little a few pennies here and there. As i said, we didnt have a lot of money. And i had a little scholarship. I had taken the sats there, and so i had done well enough to have been granted a little scholarship money, and i was going to work a little bit.

That our charter came a few years later and was first to open, having graduated a couple of classes. The university and the city were founded at the same time. When this area was selected, there was no counterculture. There were neighboring farms. There was an anglican chapel where there is now the carolina inn. There was no town to speak of.
