Celebrating the 50th Sit-In Anniversary : A Spiritual Thanksgiving

February One is a tribute to the four A&T freshmen, Franklin McCain, Joseph McNeil, Ezell Blair, Jr. (Jibreel Khazan), and the late David Richmond, whose non-violent act against social injustice on February 1, 1960 enhanced the quality of life for minorities in this country.

Activities include a luncheon, historical play, breakfast, commemorative march and much more.
