The Greensboro Four refers to four African American college students who staged a sit-in at a segregated Woolworth's lunch counter in Greensboro, North Carolina on February 1, 1960. The four students were Ezell Blair Jr. (now known as Jibreel Khazan), Franklin McCain, Joseph McNeil, and David Richmond, all attending North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University.

Their act of nonviolent protest against segregation sparked a wave of sit-ins and peaceful demonstrations across the South, igniting the Civil Rights Movement. The sit-in at the Woolworth's lunch counter lasted six months, and these actions ultimately led to the desegregation of many public facilities across the country.

The actions of the Greensboro Four not only challenged racial segregation but also inspired a new generation of activists to stand up for their rights and fight against injustice. The sit-in was a pivotal moment in the Civil Rights Movement, highlighting the power of peaceful protest and the determination of young people to create change.
