Sit-ins and Standing Up

from Black and Education Hosted by Danita Smith

Four young men from North Carolina Agricultural & Technical College changed their world when they decided to stand up for their own rights. Their names were Ezell Blair, Jr., Franklin McCain, David Richmond, and Joseph McNeil. They were freshmen at North Carolina A&T in the fall of 1959 and they became friends when they met that year. One of the things that they had in common was that they shared a disdain for the inequalities that surrounded them.
