Joseph McNeil, Franklin McCain, Ezell Blair, Jr., and David Richmond simply sat down at a lunch counter and ordered coffee.   Hours later when the store closed, they were still there, but they had not been served. And so it began, this day, February 1, 1960, in a Woolworth's in Greensboro NC.   They were freshmen at North Carolina A &T. They were refused service for a very simple reason - they were Black.  The counter was "Whites only."   The manager asked them to leave but they refused.
