a civil rights activist for most of his life, but he was best known for being one of the Greensboro Four. Richmond was a student at North Carolina A&T during the time of the Greensboro protests, but never ended up graduating from A&T. He felt pressure from the residual celebrity of being one of the Greensboro Four; his life was threatened in Greensboro and he was forced to move to Franklin, NC. Eventually, he moved back to Greensboro to take care of his father. Richmond was awarded the Levi Coffin Award for leadership in human rights by the Greensboro Chamber of Commerce in 1980. Richmond seemed to be haunted by the fact that he could not do more to improve his world, and battled alcoholism and depression. He died in 1990 and was awarded a posthumous honorary doctorate degree from North Carolina A&T.

By the end of the 1960s approximately one hundred southern cities had experienced sit-ins.

In 1960 Greensboro, North Carolina, was a rapidly growing city of 120,000 that prided itself on the progressive nature of race.

In 1960 the SNCC quickly became one of the most active civil rights organizations.

In the 1960s the SNCC was born.

On April 2 the two stores closed their lunch counters.

On February 1, 1960, 4 black freshman students entered a store to eat lunch and were told blacks had to eat at a different counter.

On February 8 sit-ins began in the neighboring city of Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

On July 25, 1960, the stores desegregated their lunch counters.

Sit-ins resumed on April 1, though, because the stores had not desegregated the lunch counters.

The Greensboro sit-ins touched off the tidal wave of direct, confrontational nonviolent protest marked the early 1960s.
