    A general timeline with big milestones indicated building up to the Greensboro public accommodations protests. The International Civil Rights Center & Museum opened last February on the 50th anniversary of the day the N.C. A&T freshmen refused to leave the whites-only lunch counter -- helping to inspire a national sit-in movement. More information about the museum is online at www.sitinmovement.org For coverage of the museum opening and more articles about the 50th anniversary of the sit-ins, visit www.news-record.com/news/museum

    This article on Diane Nash was written about Nash receiving the Freedom Award from the National Civil Rights Museum. Nash became the leader of the movement in Nashville and helped organize the sit-ins in Nashville. She was a part of SNCC, SCLC, and the freedom rides. Doctor King even said that Nashville had the best nonviolent movement in the nation. The museum president Beverly Robertson said that women were usually the wives of leaders, but Nash was a leader by herself. I chose to write about this article because Nash was such an influential person in the civil rights movement and helped to open new doors up to many people. She also served as an inspiration for other women that were involved in the movement. Through her hard work and many of her actions during the civil rights movement I believe that Nash was very deserving of this award that was presented to her.

  • 124 East Main - Historic Midway Museum Store Erected in 1882 as The Central Saloon by Henry Baxter Russell, a former Union soldier, this two‐story building of pleasing proportions has changed little since 1882. Around 1915 the building was purchased by the Sons and Daughters of Relief, an African American social service organization. Windows of the second level have semicircular heads and corresponding brick hoodmolds and there are decorative brackets below the wooden cornice.

  • He is best known as a part-owner and leader of Sears, Roebuck and Company, and for the Rosenwald Fund, which donated millions to support the education of African Americans and other philanthropic causes in the first half of the twentieth century.
  • Over the course of his life, Rosenwald and his fund donated over $70 million to public schools, colleges and universities, museums, Jewish charities, and black institutions. The school building program was one of the largest programs administered by the Rosenwald Fund, contributing over $4 million in matching funds to the construction of over 5,000 schools throughout America. These schools became known as "Rosenwald Schools."
