GREENSBORO, N.C. The first day of February marks the start of Black History Month. It s a federally recognized, nationwide celebration to reflect on the significant roles African-Americans have played in US history.
Here in the Triad, February One is also a very significant day.
It s the day, 61 years ago when four brave NC A&T freshmen took a bold and daring step to desegregate the whites-only Woolworth s lunch counter in downtown Greensboro. The move helped ignite nationwide Sit-In protests that became a hallmark of the Civil Rights Movement.
Individually and in small groups, the fed-up, the frustrated and the aggrieved stepped off the sanctity of curbs and sidewalks directly into the arms of police.
Demonstrators, protestors, whatever you wish to call them, more than two dozen souls â some local, some not â turned out in the city streets to protest the death of inmate John Neville from injuries he suffered inside the Forsyth County Detention Center.
Video captured the events at the Forsyth County jail before John Neville was hospitalized and died.
It was six long months ago, in the heat of the summer and near the height of the Black Lives Matter Movement.
