UNCG, in conjunction with the 50-year anniversary of the Greensboro Sit-ins, has launched Civil Rights Greensboro, an online portal to information about the people and events that have helped define Greensboro’s history.
The site, found at http://library.uncg.edu/dp/crg/, represents a combined effort between UNCG, Guilford College, Greensboro College and Duke University. It is hosted and maintained by the UNCG University Libraries’ Electronic Resources and Information Technology department.

Civil Rights Greensboro, a searchable digital archive, covers such subjects as desegregation of local schools, the historic February 1960 sit-ins at Woolworth’s, race relations at UNCG and Guilford College, the Black Power movement in Greensboro, and the Greensboro Massacre of 1979.
