Sixty-two years ago this week, four Black men stood up by sitting down at the Woolworth lunch counter in Greensboro. The photograph and image became a focal point of the sit-in movement.
However, many more people sat in protest including Clarence Henderson who joined in on day two. Despite the fear of danger, Henderson actually thought his decision to take part in the Civil Rights Movement was simple compared to the rough neighborhood where he grew up.
