University of Miami Professor of Sociology Marvin P. Dawkins speaks about the students at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University in Greensboro, N.C., who staged a protest at a Woolworth's lunch counter in 1960 and thereby ignited the civil rights movement in the United States. A few months later, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee gathered at Shaw University in Raleigh, N.C. African American college administrators felt they had to contain student activism at historically black colleges. Dawkins lists some of the issues that student protesters were concerned with and discusses race riots.
