The Future

The long-stalled International Civil Rights Center and Museum was kick-started to life June 26, 2001 when N.C. A&T became a major player in the downtown project.
A&T Chancellor James Renick and County Commissioner Melvin "Skip" Alston, who co-founded Sit-In Movement Inc. with City Councilman Earl Jones, signed a "memorandum of understanding" at a sidewalk ceremony outside the former Woolworth's where A& students made history.

Quoting Martin Luther King Jr., who said, "The time is always right to do what is right," Renick declared, "This is the right thing to do."
