Updating the BlackPressUSA exclusive on the lunch counter exhibit at the National Museum of African-American History and Culture. The Smithsonian says the exhibit will remain at what is affectionately called the “Blacksonian.” The exhibit includes original artifacts from the 1960s Woolworth’s lunch counter sit-in. Smithsonian officials say,” The National Museum of African American History and Culture has two Greensboro counter stools in our collection. Since the opening, one stool has always been and continues to be on display.” The history stems from Four Black male students from North Carolina A&T who were denied service at Woolworth’s counter and subsequently brutally attacked after sitting at the whites-only counter. The students refused to leave. Their defiance ignited a wave of lunch counter sit-ins across the South and became a major flashpoint in the Civil Rights Movement. The original lunch counter is currently on display at the National Museum of American History, where it has been for many years.” This comes after the BlackPressUSA exclusive that was sourced by those authorities close to the issue. The story also comes at a time when Vice President JD Vance was placed on the Smithsonian board to oversee what they perceived as American history.
