Woolworth's Sit-in Stools

These are actual chairs/stools from the Woolworth's counter in Greensboro North Carolina that were part of the Greensboro sit-ins of 1960. This shot is from the opening night performance of Periphery. The chairs were graciously lent to add richness to the performance. They were fiercely guarded and not allowed to be touched. I thought I was going to be tackled when I took the photo.
