Remembering the Winston-Salem sit-in
On Feb. 23, 1960, a group of Wake Forest students walked into the Woolworth's in downtown Winston-Salem and joined students from Winston-Salem State Teachers College to protest segregated lunch counters.
Twenty-one students were arrested that day — 10 white students from Wake Forest and 11 black students from Winston-Salem State. The students' non-violent protest, along with other protests in Winston-Salem, led to the desegregation of the city's restaurants and lunch counters on May 23 of that year.
