International Civil Rights Center & Museum

Dignity Justified

For many, a turning point in the modern Civil Rights Movement was when four North Carolina Agricultural & Technical College students initiated a Sit In at the segregated lunch counter of F. W. Woolworth’s Department store in Greensboro, NC (1960). That site is now part of the International Civil Rights Center and Museum. Along with restored sections of the original lunch counter, there are various exhibits and initiatives that focus on the ongoing pursuit of civil and human rights.

In this episode John Swaine, CEO of the International Civil Rights Center & Museum and University of Pennsylvania Professor Will Harris, principal scholar of the museum, discuss a range of impactful topics and initiatives, including Vice President Kamala Harris’ visit to the Center and the recent programming series, "The Consolidated American Constitution of the Three Foundings."
