Congressman Dan Goldman Honors Greensboro Four

Congressman Dan Goldman (NY-10) joined Congresswoman Alma S. Adams (NC-12) and Congresswoman Deborah Ross (NC-02) in introducing a resolution honoring the Greensboro Four for their contributions to American history in honor of Black History Month.

The Greensboro sit-in was a civil rights protest that took place on February 1st, 1960, when four young Black students at North Carolina A&T State University staged a sit-in at the segregated lunch counter of F.W. Woolworth Department Store in Greensboro, North Carolina. The resolution notes “The Greensboro Four were pioneers in the fight for justice and equality, and their contributions continue to inspire us."  

Congressman Goldman is committed to preserving Black history in New York and across the country. In February 2023, the Congressman introduced the ‘African Burial Ground International Memorial Museum and Educational Center Act,’ which would establish a museum and education center at the African Burial Ground in Lower Manhattan. This site currently holds the remains of an estimated 15,000 free and enslaved Africans and early-generation African Americans from the colonial era. It is one of the most historically important monuments to Black History in New York.
