A printed webpage from the Civil Rights Digital Library with background information on the Sit-in protest at Greensboro, North Carolina. The background given by the Digital Library says that in 1960, four North Carolina Agricultural and Technical College students initiated a sit-in protest at a segregated lunch counter in a Woolworth's store in Greensboro, North Carolina. Despite being denied service, the students remained seated at the "whites-only" counter. Their peaceful defiance sparked a movement, leading to more students joining the sit-in. Within days, the movement spread to over thirty cities across seven states, becoming a pivotal moment in the Civil Rights movement as it inspired similar protests nationwide. 1 page.

This is a two-page newspaper article titled "An Appeal for Human Rights:1960-2010", from March 20th, 2010 in the Atlanta Inquirer. The Committee (COAHR) jointly wrote the article On the Appeal for Human Rights. The article summarizes the history of the 1960s' Appeal For Human Rights and recontextualizes the manifesto of the Atlanta Student Movement for 2010. The article also addresses progress made since the 1960s, including advancements in desegregation, voting rights, and representation of African Americans in various fields. However, it points out ongoing education, employment, housing, voting, healthcare, and law enforcement challenges. The persisting achievement gap, unequal access to quality education, economic disparities, de facto segregation, and racial bias in the criminal justice system are highlighted as issues that demand continued attention and action. 2 pages.
