February One: The Story of the Greensboro Four (2003)

Based on first hand accounts and archival footage, the award-winning film, February One - The Story of the Greensboro Four, documents the events leading up to the fateful day of February 1, 1960, when four black freshmen from N.C. A&T State University sat down at the whiteÂ’s-only lunch counter in downtown Greensboro. Their actions not only challenged the customs and laws in North Carolina and the South, but served as a blueprint for the wave of non-violent civil rights protests that swept across the South and eventually the nation.

Not to be missed

Compelling interviews and reenactments of history that I thought I knew, but learned I knew very little about. One will fall in love with these individuals, these heroes, these everyday Americans who chose to do something extraordinary. It makes one ask oneself, would I have really had the courage to be so brave? We all want to believe so. But one cannot help but feel that these individuals' stories are so poignant because it is obvious that it absolutely mattered that someone stood up, walked in, sat down in those seats in Greensboro. And we can never diminish or downplay the risk, the peril, that was involved in doing so. Beautiful film.
