Collecting the Lunch Counter

Annotation

In 1994, Curator Bill Yeingst oversaw the removal of the lunch counter from the Woolworth's store and its packing and shipping, as documented in these photographs. Members of the local carpenters' union donated their time and labor to prepare and crate the lunch counter and the associate materials for their journey to the museum.
