There are somethnigs we never forget. For Falcon, one of those moments occured in
the late '60s when his father returned from a business trip to Roanoke, VA. His father gathered the family around the
dinner table and recounted his first encounter with racism. His father talked about standing in public building where
there were water fountains labeled "White" and "Black."
In 1960, four students from North Carolina A&T University walked into the local Woolworths and refused to yield their seats
or accept the denial of service simply on the grounds that they were Black. Along with others in various parts of the
country, the "old way" was no longer acceptible. The long and bloody road to equal rights began. In 2010, in Greensboro,
that very same Woolworths became The International Civil Rights Museum. The photos in this gallery were created that day.
For many who were there who had not lived through the blight of racism, it was a life altering experience. Witness some of
the close ups of people watching a video of lynching and other effects of racism. "Racism isn't dead," said a veteran of
the struggle to Falcon. A smile drifted carefully over her face as she spoke to him. "It isn't dead. It's just not as
obvious."
