February 1's Google Doodle depicts the "Greensboro Four," who protested racial segregation through a sit-in during the civil rights movement. They sat down at a whites-only Woolworth's lunch counter in Greensboro, North Carolina, and waited.They kept waiting, despite receiving no service and requests to leave. The next day, they came back and waited all over again. The protest marked a turning point in the civil rights movement.
The doodle comes from the Compton-based artist Karen Collins, who is also the founder of the African American Miniature Museum.
