61 Years Later: N.C. A&T State University holds virtual program to honor A&T Four sit-in movement Kandace Redd © Provided by WFMY-TV Greensboro On February 1, 1960, four Black North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University students took a bold and non-violent step against segregation. Jibreel Khazan (Ezell Blair Jr.), Franklin McCain, Joseph McNeil and David Richmond, better known collectively as the A&T Four, staged a sit-in at a whites-only Woolworth’s lunch Counter in downtown Greensboro. Even though the students were denied service, they remained strong and refused to give up their seats. The courageous sit-in movement quickly spread to other college towns throughout the South. By the end of March, the movement had spread to 55 cities in 13 states.
