Civil Rights

The Racial Equity and Justice team of CBFNC desires to be a core part of the milestone celebration for celebrating 30 years of ministry within North Carolina and beyond. Greensboro serves as the home of several public and private universities, namely: North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, Bennett College, Greensboro College and the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Two of these institutions are recognized historically black universities. In addition to these universities the town also serves as the location for the International Civil Rights Museum, which is housed in the former Woolworth Store where the famous sit-in of four freshman NC A&T students at the establishment's lunch counter in 1960 took place. Their actions helped to further the Civil Rights Movement and the plight to end racial segregation. The location of the church to the museum and to the college campuses are no more than 10-15 minutes in driving distance. It is our goal to include both the historic black colleges and the Civil Rights Museum into our 30th anniversary tour.

Separate registration of $20 per person for this unique opportunity, sponsored by the CBFNC Racial Equity and Justice Team. It will take place from 11:15 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. and take the place of workshop sessions 2 & 3. Includes lunch and transportation to and from the museum. Space is limited. Select tickets for "International Civil Rights Center & Museum Tour with Lunch" on the Annual Gathering registration form.
