She Really Made The Woolworth Counter Shine : The classic Woolworth's lunch counters. As anodyne as they seem now when viewed through the lens of nostalgia, they truly did became hot zones of protest and civil disobedience during the Civil Rights movement. There really is a dark and complicated undercurrent to virtually all forms of Americana.
The menu to go with that Coke fountain.
Princeton University students picketed the local Woolworth's store, March 12, 1960. Though Woolworth's was not segregated in New Jersey, their lunch counters in the South were. R. Hunter Morey '62 organized the protest on the same weekend Martin Luther King, Jr. was scheduled to preach in Princeton University Chapel. Morey wanted students to show support for the Civil Rights Movement, rather than just viewing King's campus visit as "a status symbol to show how aware we Princetonians are."
Locally, there were some who did not appreciate the demonstration. Police intervened when a mob attacked the protesters.
