Take a seat at the Lunch Counter and connect with a moment that changed history.

 

In 1960, college students in cities including Greensboro and Nashville staged nonviolent sit-ins at whites-only lunch counters. Often at great personal risk, their actions challenged segregation and helped propel the Civil Rights Movement forward. Through courage and collective action, they inspired change that continues to resonate today.

 

This immersive simulation invites you to experience a glimpse of their journey and gain a deeper understanding of what it took to remain committed to nonviolence in the face of opposition. You’ll leave with a new appreciation for the power of ordinary people to create extraordinary change and wonder, “How long could I last?”
