The Anniversary of the Greensboro Sit-ins, SNCC and Militant Nonviolence Today (G&R 460)
Description
February 1st is the 66th anniversary of the Greensboro sit-ins where four African-American student sat in at a Woolworth's, suffering abuse from white racist patrons and eventually jail. Those actions launched the student sit-in movement to end segregation and led to over 70,000 people participating, including civil rights leaders like Martin Luther King, John Lewis, Bayard Rustin and many others. It also led to the formation of the Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee and modern civil rights movement.
In our latest, Bob and Scott talk about anniversary of the sit-ins and then discuss it in the context of today's movement resisting Trump and ICE in Minneapolis and communities across the country.
