Greensboro Four Share Lessons with Students, Greensboro, NC

After a supporter stated she was so proud of their actions: "I learned a lesson for life...It made a terrific impression on me...don't ever stereotype anybody in this life because of what color they are, how old they are, how they might speak, or how they might look because about them you don't know."
Franklin McCain

"It's always good to do things together.  Just don't jump out there and do something cause you think it's good."
Jibreel Khazan (formerly Ezell Blair Jr.)

You never really do anything in life by yourself.  Students who participated in the sit-ins faced heavy demands and lived with the threat of being arrested, jailed and physically attacked.
"Students then did something very noble.  They gave of themselves."
Joseph McNeil

"It's not about age.  It's about what you can do as youth.  You have a voice, and your voice is powerful."
David Richmond Jr., son of late David L. Richmond
