ON 1 FEBRUARY 1960, Ezell Blair Jr, Franklin McCain, Joseph McNeil and David Richmond, African-American students at the Agricultural and Technical State University of North Carolina, sat down at the whites-only lunch counter at a Woolworth’s store in Greensboro. “The white patrons eyed them warily, and the white waitresses ignored their studiously polite requests for service,”
