Street Scenes: In front of the International Civil Rights Center and Museum

According to the website SAH Archipedia, The Woolworth building was designed and constructed in 1929 by Charles C. Hartmann who relocated to Greensboro from NYC in 1921 to design the Jefferson Standard building.  From the looks of the bright red signage, it was as if it were built to be “Woolworth” forever. Fortunately, when the museum opened thirteen years ago in 2010 the signage was kept, as it is a big part of the history of the Civil Rights Movement in Greensboro. Hopefully, the guys making the delivery had a chance to look around and take in some of the history of the museum; something that would be great for all of us to do today. The museum opens at 10am.

Happy Saturday!
