The Greensboro Four: Their WHY
A Lesson in Student Protest in Civics
Why did the Greensboro Four decide that they could no longer accept segregation, and how did that purpose shape their decision to act?
Explore dignity, repeated discrimination, personal conviction and collective responsibility. Examine Joseph McNeil’s experience of exclusion and Franklin McCain’s later reflections, then distinguish the students’ purpose from their methods and the campaign’s results.
