Recent reports about the Smithsonian removing the historic Greensboro, North Carolina, lunch counter are inaccurate. In 1960, four Black college students remained at the segregated, “whites only” counter at the Greensboro Woolworth’s and refused to leave. Their sit-in helped ignite a youth-led movement to challenge inequality throughout the South. Two stools from the sit-ins remain on view at our @nmaahc as the centerpiece of an interactive exhibition. A large section of the Greensboro counter also remains on display at our @amhistorymuseum. Suggestions that the Smithsonian had planned or intended to remove these items are false. The Smithsonian preserves and protects all objects and artifacts in its collection to ensure their long-term conservation and to safeguard them for future generations.
