North Carolina: Greensboro Sparks a Movement

This is the North Carolina Civil Rights Trail podcast. A series where historians and experts help us explore significant events in African American history that happened in the state. This is the third and final episode, where we take you to protests and movements across the state inspired and energized by the Greensboro Four sit-in in places such as Elizabeth City, Kinston, High Point, Salisbury, Shelby and Warren County. We also tell the story of Ella Baker and how she founded SNCC on the campus of Shaw University in Raleigh.
