The Wyndham Championship, the tournament is proud to support
The International Civil Rights Center and Museum
www.sitinmovement.org/
Over 45 years ago, four young students from North Carolina A&T State University sat down at the "whites only" lunch counter in the F. W. Woolworth's store on Elm Street in Greensboro - and started a nationwide trend of sit-ins. Their action was meant to draw attention to the challenges that African Americans faced in gaining equality in everyday life. The International Civil Rights Center and Museum is dedicated to the memory of not only those young men who started a national phenomenon and played an integral role in the civil rights struggle of the 1960s, but is also the time in our history. The museum will provide future generations with an opportunity to learn about a tumultuous time in our nation's history - at one of the pivotal places of the civil rights movement.
