...students from predominantly black North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University sat down at a Greensboro lunch counter. Peaceful but determined, the Negroes vowed not to move until they were served - and thereby set the pattern of nonviolent sit-ins that dominated black protest for years. Last week A. & T. students in the tobacco and textile town traded shots with police and National Guards men for three days.
