In February 1960, African-American students and others began to participate in sit-in demonstrations at lunch counters throughout the South. These protests against segregation in public facilities precipitated the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Join us for a panel discussion exploring the legacy of those protests including the state of Black America and race relations 50 years after the student-led sit-ins.

Free and open to the public. Parking is available for a fee in the West Main Street and West Cary Street parking decks. If special accommodations are needed, please call (804) 827-1165 or (804) 827-1163 prior to Feb. 5, 2010.
