News Websites: Greensboro Sit-Ins   Greensboro Sit-Ins main index page www.greensboro.com/sitins Greensboro Sit-Ins photographs index page www.greensboro.com/sitins This news site was commissioned on the 30th anniversary of the Greensboro Sit-Ins. On February 1, 1960, after passing by Ralph Johns' store on Market Street, Ezell Blair Jr. (Jibreel Khazan), David Richmond, Joseph McNeil, and Franklin McCain entered the Elm Street Woolworth's at 4 p.m., purchased school supplies and "sundry" items. They then approached the lunch counter and ordered coffee at 4:30 p.m. They were refused service. The four remained in their seats until closing at 5 p.m. After several months of these passive protests, on July 26th, 1960 the lunch counters at Woolworths were desegregated. In this design, I wanted to recreate the style of 1960s print designs that would hold the design of a webpage. I drew inspiration from simpler forms of calendars, business cards and some magazine pages in the form of the more grid-oriented design they used, the choices of typefaces, and the color schemes I found.
