Although I added the tag, I think the event of the sit-in at Woolworth's deserves a seperate article that largely does not overlap in content with the biographical details of the four men that initiated the sit-in. - Mitchumch 02:59, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Seems like a short article. Also, the page that this is suggested to be merged with (Greensboro Twenty) doesn't exist. There was a mistake in one of the links (only the opening tag) so I fixed that. ---Chord 10:59, 26 April 2006 (EST)

Yes, someone should beef up the sit-in page. For example, Jesse Jackson was a football player at NC A&T and got his public role started as a student spokesperson during the sit-in (my memory from history clss in college - please verify) - acm-acm 16:14, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

According to this article, the Greensboro lunch counter sit-in was not the first. There were previous sit-ins at lunch counters in Wichita, Kansas and Oklahoma City. For some reason the Greensboro sit-in has always received more attention, but shouldn't a Wikipedia article about the sit-ins try to set the record straight? Pat Berry 14:13, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
