CNN producer note

rbd1966 told me, 'I overheard a lot of people saying that this was a start but we can't become complacent. This is a victory but part of an ongoing struggle as well.'

iReport —

Students from North Carolina A&T State University head to the site of an historic protest 50 years ago to the day. On Feb. 1, 1960, four A&T freshmen initiated the sit-in movement when they declined to leave a segregated lunch counter at a downtown Greensboro department store.
