(3) 4-6 Captured History series. In 1960, four black college students quietly took their seats at a Woolworth's whites-only lunch counter in Greensboro, North Carolina. By refusing to leave, they set into motion a powerful and effective move toward ending segregation in the South. Along with other archival photos, Jack Moebes's iconic photograph of the sit-in stands at the center of this empathetic, well-researched introduction to the civil rights movement. Reading list, timeline. Bib., glos., ind.
