Exhibit Review Committee

Annotation

Once the curators at the National Museum of American History acquired a portion of the Greensboro Woolworth's lunch counter, they also began to discuss how to display the lunch counter in the museum. Their work was part of a long-standing effort on the part of the museum to collect Civil Rights era material. In this memorandum, curator Bill Yeingst proposed a plan for exhibiting the lunch counter in the museum.
