Woolworth Sit-In

The protest took place in Woolworth on February 1, 1960' at 4:30 p.m four students including me from the North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University sat down at the lunch counter side. Something that was significant but bad is that white race people enraged and began to scream at us. White race people were mad because of the us sitting in a only white people allowed spot so only because of this they began to throw food at us, boiling hot coffee in my partners face, pies and also punched and threw us to the floor. We did nothing wrong but sit down to wait for waiter to take our order and still got accused and token to prison.

This event is important and symbolic to the U.S. because this way we can remember the things that happened in the past and bring awareness for it to not happen again in the future. David Richmond, Franklin McCain, Ezell Blair Jr., and Joseph McNeil began with this movement to encourage African Americans to not be afraid and love their pride, to not show fear and be brave towards white people.

Some conclusions I can make about this event is that evidently this treatment was an act of hate and discrimination. I strongly believe that skin color does not matter when you're a person of good morals and convictions. There is no necessity to threat or incriminate someone just because of their skin pigment. My presence there was completely abolished and truly indignant. What hurt the most besides the boiling hot coffee were the sense of hatred and u appreciation towards African American race.

                    "A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder."

Thomas Carlyle

Reflection: I believe that this statement does not only apply to men but also women. A woman always knows where to go and what to do but when she has no goals she is simply stuck and indecisive. Whenever a man has no goals set in his life he will lose control of himself and will serve for nothing. Goals are essential in everyone's life. Having goals makes us be ambitious and seek for important stuff that we care about and want to accomplish.

It is necessary to have plenty of beauty in your character, this way people are going to know you are of value and you will be treasured by many. The ones who don't will only envy you and fill their heart with hatred, loneliness, and sadness.

"The Six Pillars of Character"

"The Six Pillars of Character"

1. Trustworthiness
    Respect
    Responsibility
    Fairness
    Caring
    Citizenship

2. Trustworthiness is being honest, having the courage to do the right thing. If my mom lends me 20 dollars and expects me to give 10 dollars i will give her that amount of money, she can trust me.

    Respect is about being tolerant and accepting of differences. If someone argues with me, I will be calm and not cuss or begin to lose myself. I will respect that persons argument.

    Responsibility is about doing what I'm supposed to do, being accountable for your words, actions, and attitudes. If I have homework due the teacher can rely in me and I will be responsible and I will turn in the homework by the day it is due.

    Fairness is about playing by the rules, not taking advantage of others. If I'm playing a game and I loose i will not be dissapointed, I will be fair and accept that i lost and simply try harder the next time.
   
   Caring is about being kind and compassionate, helping the ones in need. If i see a homeless person who is hungry and ask me for money i will lend money if I have, i will be caring and kind.

    Citizenship is about cooperating and being involved in your community. If my community is dirty and needs to be cleaned I will help clean to make our community look neat and better of a community to live in.
